Hello, my name is Sheila Whitmeyer, and I live in Wilmington, NC. I was just diagnosed with mono, on Thursday. I am experiening severe swollen glands if I sit up or walk around at all in our condo. I have been home and out of work since Thursday. One of my questions is: 1. Should I be concerned that not only do I get swollen lympth nodes, by my neck on both sides, tonight I am experiencing very severe swelling in my upper back. I am just sitting up, and the gland are swelling very very quickly.
