okay, so I'll be making an appointment with my GP this week. I will ask her to test for:
mono
ear infection
parasite
and ensure that the blood test I had tested for iron, electrolytes, etc.

any other suggestions?

I did a kickboxing class on Friday. it went well. I have worse sinus symptoms this weekend. and have had chills again, but not consistently. and saw stars when I was doing laundry. I hope to do two pretty easy rides this week. I definitely want to know if it's mono as that enlarges the spleen, leaving it much more prone to rupture during intense exercise or physical contact. I imagine kickboxing and mountain biking would both be dangerours

anyway, if any of you have further suggestions, please let me know. I am not happy about getting sick after every long ride and really want to get over this so I can stop complaining/worrying, etc, and get back to being the bubbly me that world expects to see!!

Namaste,
~T~
