I just looked back at some old Tech threads, circa 2005. Wow I used to be optimistic about that team, did I seriously think that Tech could finish in the top 4 of the conference? Was I really that foolish? :p

Circa 2005, that wasn't foolish. :o

If you think you have it, the easiest way to confirm is to go to a walk in clinic and ask them to give you a mono test. It's relatively simple, and most places should offer it (ours is called a "mono spot"). I doubt the test costs that much, and it definitely doesn't take long to do.

Even if you did something like that, they might not necessarily give you the full run-down on what is/isn't ok during the extended recovery process.

This is why I won't buy a vehicle with a timing belt.

Give me a gear/chain driven, single cam, pushrod V8 (or if diesel, I6) anytime.

I do, regularly. But until the last one I don't think I ever kept one long enough to need to replace the belt. And I don't need anything that takes a V8.

Would you necessarily need to consult a doctor if you got mono? If there's not some type of medication that would help, and I was reasonably sure I knew what I had, I probably wouldn't bother seeing a doctor.

Uh, yeah. When I had it, I was also presenting symptoms of strep throat, which is why I went to the doctor in the first place. After they got a look at my throat, and I told them my other symptoms, they ran both tests. Both came back positive.

What kind of crappy doctors have you been going to? They came back with a diagnosis and a handful of brochures detailing all the information and do's and don'ts of mono recovery. There are things like avoiding alcohol, avoiding vigorous activity (due to spleen enlargement and increased chances for rupture.) So, yes, there are no medications or pharmaceutical aids they can prescribe (though I did leave with a codeine script for throat pain), or anything to do to cure it, but there are measures you can take to assure you don't get any worse.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 104: Back To Normal Sports

So I am bringing the lad to Grand Forks to tour UND on March 29-30, he wants to study atmospheric science and they don't have that at MN. He also knows he will never sniff my Gopher hockey tickets once he joins the dark side. :D Also, I look at it this way, he has no interest in UW.

Anyway.......will we be in the middle of a flood?
Also, any good restaurant recommendations?

Go to the truckstop for breakfast. From what I can remember at 3AM the food was awesome.

Good restaurants in Grand Forks. That's a joke, right?:confused:
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 104: Back To Normal Sports

Just checking in. Will commence studying for tomorrow's Stats test shortly. Enjoyed a long weekend with lots and lots of hockey (college and Olympic, of course). :) Of course that made today fall a bit short.

Technically strep and mono are both things that pass with time and rest (thought strep goes by faster with antibiotics), so some people might not bother going to see the doctor. I'm not trying to say that it's the ideal course of action, or that the person isn't still at fault for not knowing, just that it could be a case of ignorance instead of them deliberately going against doctor's orders.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 104: Back To Normal Sports

Well, I get to see NHL style hockey again tonight, which will be a bit different I suppose...I love Olympic hockey.:(

Happy March Everyone! March is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, months of the year. Next week starts the MSHSL Boys' State Tournament, as well as WCHA playoffs, then onto the Final Five, then the regionals, throw in a touch of March Madness, as well as the weather starting to gradually improve, and you get a fun filled month which seems to fly by every year!:)

Hi Les, welcome to Boardaholics Anonymous...the first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem.

Um... Strep is a bacterial infection that, I suppose, may go away without antibiotics. The problem is that if it left untreated and it does not go away on its own, you end up with Scarlet Fever. Which is bad, very bad. (like, can screw up the whole rest of your life bad). So, I'm thinking it probably should be treated.
