It might be mono.

Welp, I only say that because I got it last year around this time, and it was a pain in the butt! I don't like being this tired all the time, throat hurts, side hurts (have to be careful bending and when I lift because if it IS mono, I could suffer from internal bleeding, so the doctors say when I saw them last year about it).
My chest is also in pain, but it's because of THAT, that I'm hoping that the tiredness I'm feeling could also just be a chest cold, because who knows, I could be coughing all night in my sleep, my cats won't tell me (haha).
SO! Anybody got tips to help me fight this before it begins? Is there an actual way to stop mono before it happens? Is there a type of vaccine shot for it yet?
Another reason why I can't afford to have mono? My co-worker is also sick, been sick like a dog for the past 2 and a half weeks, but she's been coming into work, being a good sport about it, doesn't seem contagious, but she took yesterday off, which I'm glad, so she can catch up on rest.
NOW, the more explained reason why I can't be sick? Because it's just the 2 of us in our little office, and this job is VERY physically AND mentally demanding! And if the both of us are out of commission? Well then our side of operations come to a full stop, and that is SO not good, since we are the shipping and receiving at a Cancer Clinic.
SEE WHY WE CAN'T GET SICK? *cross fingers*
SOMEBODY HELP! Your tips and advice is MUCH MUCH MUCHLY appreciated.
