catcountry Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 You should NOT be in school with Mono!!!!! I can't believe that a Dr. says it's okay. If in the early stages you are contagious, if in the ending stages you are not BUT, if your body tells you that you are not ready for school, you should not be there. Ask your parents for a few days to stay home and rest....tell them you need to rest. Back when I was in HS I knew kids who were out for a week with mono. I hope you feel better soon! Link to comment
Gracelove Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I had Mono a few years ago, and it was horrible. I definitely don't think you should be going to school. I'm surprised the doctor suggested it. Are your parents considering sending you to school? Do you think they'll allow you to stay home? Link to comment
SicFounder Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Your doctor suggests that you keep attending knowing that you have mono??? Back in 8th grade my friend was suspended for 2 weeks for going to school with mono for "endangering his peers". Link to comment
Firiel Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Mono isn't all that contagious, so I don't think you have to worry that much about giving it to others. It all just depends on what you feel up to, really. Some people are hit harder than others. I had mono for weeks before I realized I had it... was going to school, living in a dorm with roommates... none of my family members/close friends got sick from me. Link to comment
