oh, one more thing. Epstine Bar is something that is terminal. it's also different than chronic fatigue syndrome.
a man i know has it and can't do anything. in his bad times he can't even get out of bed to go to the bathroom. he has one of the worst reported cases in the state of pennsylvania.
someone else can verify what causes it, but i'm pretty sure it's more on the side of genetic. i could be wrong though. also, there is no treatment for it.

ps - oh yeah, mono does affect the spleen very much so. that's one of the main reasons you shouldn't drink alcohol when you have mono. also, your body can't heal itself as well when you have alcohol in your system. that's why they say don't drink when taking antibiotics. it negates the effects of the antibiotics in your system. also the reason they tell you to sleep so much when you have mono is b/c your immune system is much more active when you are asleep.
