You just have to let it run its course and symptoms can really linger. I had it in college too, and it took me almost a year to fully recover. My wisdom teeth were infected- they got so bad my jaw eventually swelled so much I couldn't open my mouth more then a couple centimeters. The mono was reinfecting me since my immune system sucked from my underlying jaw infection. Once I got those suckers out, I recovered in less then a month. But before that I would get exhausted just making one meal a day, spike fevers, and was only awake five hours out of twenty four. I had to take a medical leave from school. Man, if you've never had it you are lucky, but it's also hard to imagine how useless and fatigued you become if you haven't experienced it first hand.

Just makes you tired as hell. You definitely can't fight, let alone train, with a case of mono. Also there are the obvious health issues with it. Anyone you grappled with would likely get it too.

It's either going to end with a KO by Carrwin or a TKO on the ground by Lesnar. I bet the latter's going to happen, but Carwin can get a lucky shot in before Brock get's him to the ground.

Even more daunting would be facing down another giant (Carwin) while still dealing with fatigue and a sub-par camp. This sucks for all of us fans who really want to see this fight, and maybe Carwin as well. However, Carwin must be patient. He is getting his shot, and I'm sure he doesn't want any excuses or question marks over shadowing his possible victory. I think with these two healthy, this will be well worth the wait.

So we got to wait a bit to see Carwin get destroyed. He should count his lucky stars that he gets to keep his unblemished record a bit longer. Whoever it was that said an interm title fight between nog and Cain can stop posting right now because for one interm titles are a joke and for another you cant make a interm title fight without having the guy who is the #1 contender in it. Besides Cain vs. Nog is a great matchup and the one im looking forward to this one bigtime. Cain Velasquez Soon to be the undisputed champion of the ufc HW division. MONO SUX MONKEY TESTICALS!

Mono is no joke. I had it in university. I would get up at the crack of noon, stagger 10 feet to the top of the stairs, and have to sit down for 20 minutes so I could go down the stairs. Then sit again at the bottom of the stairs so I could make it 25 feet to the kitchen for a bowl of cereal or something. I once fell assleep in a plate of food for real. If that's what Brock's got, get well soon, buddy. Mono sucks. Yeah. Mono is no joke. I had it in university.
