i got mono back in high school, but i was saved by two things. firstly, my immune system is somewhere between impenetrable and superman... i only feel sick if it's a major rout of whatever. secondly, i was living at my grandparents at the time, so when i was sick enough to call out from school (most of the time i really wasn't, but i feigned it well enough to get a day off), i was cared for. i got three squares a day and my gramma demanded i go to bed early, so the mono was dealt with in a pretty short time.
because it's a virus, it's with you for the rest of your life, but normally after the initial infection your body has smacked it down hard enough that it never comes back. it just makes you all kinds of tired, your throat is sore, and the lymph nodes in your neck swell up (it's where the virus lives). it's not a fun thing to have... especially when you're young and have so many girls you wanna kiss.
