Ewwwwwwww

I have been sick, I mean really sick, sick like I have never been before, it is horrible. Every time I think I am getting well, I end up feeling cruddy. Since I have been ill, I have done nothing but sleep, work and sleep some more. I can not wait until I feel almost human again. It is all because of these little suckers:
That's right EBV, one of the causes of mono, here is what the CDC has to say about it:
Epstein-Barr virus, frequently referred to as EBV, is a member of the herpesvirus family and one of the most common human viruses. The virus occurs worldwide, and most people become infected with EBV sometime during their lives. In the United States, as many as 95% of adults between 35 and 40 years of age have been infected. Infants become susceptible to EBV as soon as maternal antibody protection (present at birth) disappears. Many children become infected with EBV, and these infections usually cause no symptoms or are indistinguishable from the other mild, brief illnesses of childhood. In the United States and in other developed countries, many persons are not infected with EBV in their childhood years. When infection with EBV occurs during adolescence or young adulthood, it causes infectious mononucleosis 35% to 50% of the time.

Let me tell you mono sucks, grrrrrrrr

I want to not feel sick and start to feel better so that I can skate and do some fun things.....
