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

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.

When mono goes into a kind of remission it hides away in your spinal fluid, although it's rare, one can become symptomatic again and you needn't re-contract it.

I got mono as a kid and it works kind of weird. Some days you will feel fine (a little tired, but nothing really) and some days you will feel horrible. I got it twice, so yes it's possbile to get it again. Sadly, mono is the reason why I had to repeat kindergarden and can last for some time. It may sound a little weird, but taking warm showers and bathes, and eating sherbert seems to help.

Actually, it's an incurable virus. Once you have it, it never leaves your body. Most people only experience symptoms once, but it's not unheard of for the symptoms to recur in rare cases. This was supposed to be a reply to another comment, but whatever. I can't find the specific one, and there are lots of people who are commenting about the possibility of getting mono more than once.

I'm pretty sure that's illegal to do. Especially if it was diagnosed by a doctor. You should really consider consulting with an employment attorney. Generally companies can't fire someone for a documented illness

It is VERY rare to get mono twice especially in one year, that is probably why the fired you if you have proof and are good at your job they should reconsider.
