Starting about 12 days ago I've had a swollen lymph node on my neck. Swollen enough to be annoying, but not painful. At first I was a bit achy, with fever and chills. So I slept a lot and drank lots of fluids. After a few days the other symptoms went away but the swelling stayed with an small decrease in overall energy. Since it's been about 12 days I figured I should go in to the Student Health Center to get it checked out. I made an appointment for this afternoon with Dr. Blackwell. She looked at it and took my information, including all the fun that Jess had to make sure she knew about my exposure to the Fusobacterium. The quick blood test came back to show that I have a really strong Mono infection going on. Yay.

According to an Infectious Disease Specialist taking the herb Echinacea can really help, so I have a bottle of that and Ibuprofen for the swelling. I'm hoping it has just about run its course by now and will on its way off soon.
