My sister-in law Carole also has Fivro and was talking to me about the link between Mono and Fibro. This is the first I have ever heard that there is a link.
Does anyone know more about the link between the two?

Hello Fearski....You have got me wondering! I have had Fibro for 20 years or so along with osteo arthritis etc. When I was 15 years old I was hospitalised with Glandular Fever for 3 weeks which affected my spleen and I was out of action for a long time. I shall have to ask my GP but would be very interested to know if there is a link. I must admit I didn't know what Mono was so had to check and I assume they are the same!
Take care....Tricky.
I did when I was 18. Had strep and mono at the same time. I had a baby and was living with my then boyfriend (now husband) and my mom had to take my baby for a week because I was completely useless. It was the most sick I have ever been. Now that makes me wonder.
