Drowsiness/Fatigue from Mono
Hi,I was diagnosed with Mono in Mid-November. I had been experiencing fatigue for about 2 months, some days so bad I felt I would fall asleep while driving. I was sleeping 7-9 hrs/night. I've had some good days in the last couple of month but also some really bad days and no days where I've felt 'normal.'
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 11 years ago but fatigue was never one of my major symptoms and I haven't missed a day of work due to FMS in 10 years. But I've missed a few days already because of the mono.
I notice when it's at it's worst I due have some sinus headache/congestion and mild throat irritation but that's it.
I've tried Olive Leaf Extract for a few months with no real noticable relief. I am also taking B12 supplements, heavy doses...not sure if it's helping. I just started taking Coconut Oil with every meal but it's only been two days and so far I don't notice anything.
Any suggestions on how to strengthen my immune system and beat this fatigue? I'm getting really worried that it's going to be permanent and it scares me. I have two young children and work. I'm scared my kids will get it too. I don't want them to every have to deal with any of the pain/fatigue I've dealt with in my life.
Thank you.

Thank you. So just to be clear: I need to get Calcarea Carb 200c and 4 pellets equals one dose?
Do I need to avoid anything else like certain fruits and can I continue to take my Magnesium/Malic Acid supplement?
This should help with the fatigue?
Thank you. I will pick some up today.

My local health food store only had Calcarea Carb in 6c and 30c potency. Is there a way to adjust the dosage to allow for that potency? Or, is it better for me to just order it online in 200c?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Please take Calcarea Carb 30c thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours for 2 days and see how that affects in the next 10 days.
One dose means 4 pellets.

It's been 10 days since I took the Calc Carb for two days. I haven't noticed any difference at all. I'm still experiencing the terrible drowsiness.

Please take Nux Vomica 30c thrice a day for 3 days and see how that affects in the next 10 days.
If that doesn't help please take Kali Phos 30c in the same way.
