On another occasion, a coworker of mine had it and was gone for 3 weeks. Bedridden. He lost like 20 pounds and said it was probably the worst experience of his life.

Did he have strep throat also?
One time I had a sore throat but, I thought it was just a sore throat until I couldn't swallow anymore. When I finally went to the doctor they told me I had mono and strep at the same time. I lost about 25 lbs. I thought strep throat was way worse than mono.
