Several hundred needles, and probably 6-7 IVIG treatments later they decided they were gonna have to remove my spleen. They did that April 12th...and it managed to cure it. Only about a 70% success rate for it so I was a little uneasy but all is well now.

Hope the same doesn't happen to you.
Yikes, that sounds awful. I seem to be making a good amount of progress, no more chills, headaches or fever, so hopefully the worst bit is behind me. Throat feels awful still.

Good luck getting better though. From what I here you just have to wait.
Yeah, I knew I was in trouble when I coughed that **** up and my throat still didn't feel any better.

That's what I think happened. Haven't kissed anyone recently, and nobody who would have had mono.
