Years of Symptoms After MononucleosisPosted By A.j. (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) on 01/28/2013
1)Fatigue--need to sleep 9-10 hrs/night and am still tired throughout the day. If I am able to lie down in the afternoon I absolutely do!
2)My sleep is non-refreshing (although I don't think I was ever a good sleeper). I wake up 5-6 times per night and go to the bathroom at least once.
3)When it started in 2000, I had diarrhea on and off for about 2 years. This has now changed to constipation for the last 10-11 years to the point that if I don't take Triphala Gold twice daily (4-6 tablets per day), I am not able to go at all.
4)Apathy/depression-Most of the time I feel too tired to be interested in things. The depression has gotten better. I am a person of faith, and the hope in God has changed this aspect alot for me. However, I am still rather apathetic about life because of the fatigue (I think).
5)Allergies-I need to use Allegra almost daily along with a nasal rinse. I know that I'm allergic to mold, but my allergies have gotten worse.
6)Migraines-I've had an increase in migraines in the last 2 years in particular.
7)Bloating-My intestines often feel bloated. I am thin, but my stomach sometimes looks bloated.
8)Irregular periods: this is new for me for the past 3 years. I am only 42 years old and do not have a history of abnormal periods. They used to last 6 days and were rather heavy. For the past year I have only had maybe 4 times where I spotted for a day or two and the blood was usually very dark.
9)Vaginal itchiness & aching. The ache is very low and central.
After spending a little time on your site, I am considering doing the Hydrogen Peroxide treatment, and possibly the lemon/baking soda alkalinizing rememdy. However, I would be interested to know your thoughts and suggestions.
Much appreciated,
A.J.

Here are some things your daughter could try:
virgin coconut oil - 1 T. 2-3 times a day if she tolerates it well. We found this to work very well for mono and other viruses.
Vitamin C - as much as she can tolerate. (Loose stools means the dose is enough and cut back a bit.) Sodium ascorbate form. During sickness, even 1 gram an hour is often not too much.
Nettle tea is a great all around health boost, especially for women in her age group.
All of that stress is likely depleting vitamins, and especially magnesium. Natural Calm magnesium supplement before bed can restore magnesium and help with sleep.
B - complex for stress
For detox and relaxing -
Epsom salt baths or baking soda baths. 1 cup of either.
Castor oil massaged into swollen lymph nodes.
Also castor oil packs over the liver (not during menses) for detox and gall bladder help. Done overnight they can be relaxing and promote sleep.
It is hard to see your daughter suffer so. She is blessed to have you on her side.

I did go to the main page and I didn't see a "main section" to question Bill. Could you help me with this. I am having some difficulty navigating this site. Many thanks.
