Jonathan, I was diagnosed with Mono last Oct., and I have been sick ever since - 5 months and counting. It is looking like I will have to quit my job, since I absolutely can not work. I am still looking for answers, and also wondering if I will have to live like this the rest of my life. Just know that you are not alone, and others feel what you feel. That's not much to offer, I know. I am pursuing every avenue, even though I live in a very small city with not much to offer. I am astounded that people have been living with this for 20-30 years. How do they keep hope going? I watch family and friends living their lives with happiness and energy, and I get so angry. I need tips on how to keep going when I feel like throwing in the towel. What's the use? This is not living.
