I wrote this comment elsewhere but will repeat as people are interested in EBV. I am a physician, got mono in med school when I began seeing patients, was down for a month. I had mono again as a resident although tests were negative and I don't think anyone believed me, I had all the same symptoms including massive swelling around my eyes, was down for another month. Flash forward 30 years and I contract COVID, symptoms at first were respiratory, worst asthma of my life. Then I get horrible sore throat and terrible fatigue. I told my primary I think I have mono, she said "no way!" but was kind enough to run a mono spot with other labs. Well the mono spot came back positive! Yes, it turns out COVID resurrects mono! I'm just fortunate the mono-spot was positive because I know from personal experience that you can have mono and the tests are negative and no one takes you seriously.

My condolences to anyone experiencing mono symptoms with COVID. My symptoms are finally waning after about 5 weeks of mono but I still am not well after contracting COVID 7 weeks ago, other problems remain.
