What do I have?

by Staan on Wed Jan 15, 2014 1:10 am

I went off maintenance Revlimid in October. Blood work looks continues to be stable, with slight dip in platelet counts.
On Christmas I caught a cold that really took away my energy it lasted about a week.
3 days ago I started feeling very achy and have a pretty strong headache.
I feel like I have Mono. I have periods of no energy that are unprecedented for me. My brother currently has Mono nucleosis so it's why I am suspicious. I have stayed away from him since his diagnosis but I'm sure I was exposed earlier.
But I am not sneezy or congested. No nausea. No spleen pain or swollen nodes (common for mono)
I'm seeing myeloma doc on Friday so hope to make it til then without going to see another doctor.
Any thoughts?.
