I dont have mono, but i have a viral infection!?

Question

I am 25 years old and i have been sick for weeks, i finally could not take it and i went to the ER. they ran a ton of tests and they came out good, they told me that i have a viral infection. The reason they were dead set on it being mono was because i had lymph nods in my neck and upper arm area. Does anyone know if there is anything else that is a lot like mono that i could have? my mono test came clean but i have all the symptoms, any help would be wonderful!

Please do not inform me to go back to the doctor, this arrangement has already been made.

Answer 1

Mono doesn't always show up on a blood test.  

The other possibilities are things they probably tested for, like lymphoma or other cancers.  You probably just need to ride out the virus, and if it is mono, it can take a long time to feel better...even a few months.
