My roommate in the house just got over mono. She also was never extremely exhausted to the point that she stayed in bed 24/7, but we live on the third floor, so she would get tired (even more so) after walking up the three flights of stairs. It started with her throat hurting--she said she's never been in so much pain before--and the throat culture came back negative for strep throat. We have a pretty sucky health center on campus, and so they didn't bother to check for mono until a few days later when she wasn't getting better. I don't think she had an extremely bad case of mono because the dr. told her that she could still go to class, even though she did end up missing a few days.
According to the doctor, symptoms of mono don't start showing up until 6 weeks later, which worried me at first since I live with her and may have shared the same cup or something. And now my throat hurts!!! Mono just sucks... but to get mono your senior year, just a few weeks before graduation would suck ten times more!
