Mono is mononucleosis or the “kissing disease”. I have not had it that I am aware of. Mono may be a contributing stress factor for those who have MS (and those who have MS but yet undiagnosed).

I do not believe mono in itself causes MS. There are many people who get mono but not all people who get mono also get MS.

Covid is a virus versus a disease. It is similar to the flu as the flu is also viral. Viruses do not respond to antibiotics while a disease such as pneumonia can be treated with antibiotics.

There are some who have been infected with Covid who have experienced “damage” beyond lung damage. They are known as “long haulers” and their symptoms vary.
🧡 thank you 🧡
