When I had mono at 15 no one tested me for it and they made me continue going to school. I would pass out in class and they would just call the nurse. Everyone except my mom thought I was faking for attention. I had mono, walking pneumonia, and a UTI that almost became sepsis. No one took me seriously for THREE AND A HALF MONTHS!!!!! 

It caused my nervous system to break and now I have multiple lifelong nervous system disorders. All because my doctors egos were too big to actually believe a teenage girl

I remember getting yelled at because I passed out and fell asleep in church when I had mono… they felt bad when they realized I was actually sick a few days later 😂😂
