Today, it's officially been two weeks since I found out I have mono. It's also been two weeks since anyone has visited me, called me, or even emailed me. The real kicker? I'm now fired from my job because they can't believe I can have mono twice in one year. I guess I'm just lucky that way. FML

Today, I went to the doctor to see why my walking pneumonia wasn't getting any better. It had. I've just somehow managed to also contract mono... while sitting home, alone. FML
Today, I was recently diagnosed with mononucleosis. This means that I'm really tired. I had been planning a trip with my sister and my cousin, but I didn’t wake up this morning at 7 because of the Mono, and they didn’t bother to wake me up. They went without me, to all my favorite places, leaving me at home with nothing to do. FML
Today, I got a email from my boss. He said he was going to have to let me go for missing so much work over the last week. I was laid off two months ago. I don't know what is more depressing, getting fired from a job twice or the fact it took two months for them to notice I wasn't there anymore. FML
Today, after moving provinces and working my ass off to find a job, and finally finding one, I got the flu and had to call in sick two days on my first week. They fired me today. FML
Today, I'm in quarantine after testing positive for Covid. Two weeks after starting a new job. Two months after receiving the vaccine. FML
Today, I got fired because I was “constantly sick”. Constantly in this case meaning: the one time the entire office had Covid, including myself, plus 4 single days in a whole year. FML
Today, after three weeks of suffering from COVID, I returned to work. I met with my boss, and was written up for absenteeism. Oh, and we're closing early because there are ongoing riots. Oh, and we lost the contract and I'm unemployed in three weeks. FML
Today, my boss claimed that I've been lying to get days off because apparently nobody can be so unlucky as to have three family members die within a month. I'm just that unlucky, and suspended. FML
Today, after a year and a half of overexploitation at work without getting paid for it, I can finally have a deserved vacation. Why? I caught Covid. FML
Today, it's been 2 days since I got over having the flu for over a week, missing work the whole time. I just got food poisoning. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I had mono and it's horrible. People shouldn't act like that. You don't even do anything and you get it. And you can only get it once in most cases. Fyl indeed for having people in your life who don't understand. And first, who cares If your first? And then you add ew? You're lucky you've never had it.

mono is a "kissing disease" you retards. you get it if you kiss a person who has it.
Sushimomo 0
It's a condition that you get from body fluids (sweat, saliva, ect.) It doesn't have to be from kissing. I've never kissed anyone and I've had mono. I was one of 5 people who sat in the corner of my dance room. So someone who had it was all sweaty, sat there, and the virus got on the wall, than got on me.

Actually kissing is not the only way to get it. In fact it is the most uncommon way to get it. Mono attacks your spleen and if it ruptures you will be dead before you get to the hospital. It is a very serious sickness that stays in your blood for the rest of your life even if you don't feel the effects of it anymore.

exactly, unless your mono makes it so you can't drive or walk. in which case it's called polio.

And it's called forgery. It would really suck to be OP, but it's hugely improbable and statistically the company made the right choice. again, FYL.

Yeah, it's not in most cases, you can only get mono once, you cab have flare ups with other illnesses and it will only last a few days, but you're right, you can only get the actual illness once. It can last for up to six months when you first get it though.

No, it can flare back up again with all the symptoms and be just as bad. Happened to my sister. Its rare, but just like getting chicken pox a second time, it happens.

I've had chicken pox two times…

Actually, mononucleosis (the Epstein-Barr virus) is incurable. Once you have it, you have it forever. For most people, once the symptoms go away, they stay away - but it is still possible to infect others at times, even without symptoms. It is, however, not unheard of for some people to get flare ups of the symptoms from time to time throughout their life. I think from this FML, though, that it's more likely that the OP never completely got over the symptoms the first time around. And, OP - I feel your pain. I have mono right now, and it started with tonsillitis, too. It sucks being exhausted and forced to rest all the time. Feel better soon! Also, get your doctor to call or write your employer. If your employer still insists on firing you, then you have a wrongful termination suit. If you don't talk to your physician and get him/her to talk to your boss, then you deserve being fired. Other than that, though, I can't see how this is your fault.

You only do get Mono once, and it stays with your whole life. Just the symptoms go away, but sometimes the symptoms do flare up again. And ive had chicken pox THREE damn times!! that sucked...

I have mono, I know the pain. People are scared I'll 'accidentally spit in their mouth'. After having mono a giant rumor went out that I'm a *****. Everyone thinks you get it from kissing and kissing only. Mono sucks...

Whats a mono?
ALQ_fml 13
Mono stands for "mononucleosis." It's the Epstein-Barr virus, and is part of the herpes family. It's commonly called the "kissing disease" because it spreads most commonly through saliva. Most people (at least in the USA) are carriers by their mid-20s. You can have it and never know because it doesn't always produce symptoms. When it does, the symptoms are usually fever, exhaustion, and swollen lymph nodes. The swollen glands can also be caused by tonsillitis, which sometimes accompanies mono. It you google "mononucleosis," you can easily find out more. I hope this brief introduction helps. :)

not showing up to work will do that. mono sucks, but being unemployed with no friends sucks more. hope you have xbox.

get a docs note saying you have it.
MoonyIce 0
What? You can't possibly have gotten fired for that. And if you have, grow a backbone and show them a doctor's note or get them to TALK to your doctor, if they don't believe you.

Congrats. You are number one. Everyone thanks you for your participation. Now get a life. I am so sorry that your friends and family won't visit. They should be ashamed. They wouldn't catch mono unless they swapped spit with you via kissing or drinking. Your work should rehire you if you show them a doctor's note confirming your sickness. Best of luck :)

This sounds like an easily remedied problem. If you actually cared to do anything about it. Step 1: call someone first if you want human contact Step 2: send documentation of both illnesses to your work
