I was gonna suggest mono or strep.....I had strep on top of mono when I was in high school and it damn near killed me. I didn't know I had strep for soooo long! By the time I got that taken care of, we figured out I had mono....I practically ended up with pneumonia from over-exerting myself. And by over-exerting myself, I mean waking up, sometimes standing....and even walking. I had to take not only an anti-biotic, but also quite a few steroids. It was a months-long process, too. Get checked out, chicky!!! Go to a doc, stat!!

Feel better!!! :love:
