I was semi-diagnosed with Mono (Glandular Fever) about 3 weeks ago with a positive Monospot test. The only issue is that the Epstein Barr Virus test came back negative, and typically EBV causes Mono. I saw my doctor again today, who re-tested me for EBV, but also told me that my white blood cell count was very low- atypical of Mono and my C-Reactive Protein was sky high.
Long story short, I had another blood test and will hopefully get those results in the next couple days....But right now I am just worried sick awaiting the results. I have been dealing with swollen lymph nodes, fevers, and fatigue for about a month now. I'm terrified the EBV will come back negative and I will have to start getting tested for a lot of scary illnesses that can cause a positive Mono test- Leukemia, Lymphoma, Lupus, etc. All 4 illnesses carry the same symptoms.
Anyway, I suppose I just needed to vent or talk with anyone who has possible dealt with this. I feel very anxious awaiting these results. Hoping for the best..
