k, about 2 weeks ago i was diagnosed with mono and strep throat, my strep throat went away in a week but the doc said i still had mono and that i gotta take it easy on my spleen and liver (no skiing, skateboarding, or anything) cause they could erupt yada yada. and he said in rare cases i could get jaundice if my liver dosnt get better, so i'm assuming i shouldnt drink but i was wondering if smoking marijuana would make my matters worse or jeperdise my situation and have me bleeding internally while i'm ripped and shit. any help?

Honestly, i would just lay off everything for a bit. Mono wrecks your system and makes you hella tired. And if you just got over strep, i'd give it some time bro. No reason to prolong your recovery time.

don't smoke... drugs go into your blood stream and then is purified by your liver and if your liver is weak then you don't want to stress it at all (also you don't want jaundice, it turns your skin yellow)

On top of that smoking increases your heart rate and slightly increases your blood pressure making it more difficult for your liver to purify your blood

Just lay off every thing. It really isn't worth it

yeah except for at most doctors offices, parents are allowed to view their kids' charts, and the doctor is allowed to share information with the parents.

but yeah, if you Dr. has a confidentiality policy for all patients including

your parent guardian is DIRECTLY responsible for your health
the doctor has to share any information with your parents until you are over 18
unless you have a crooked doctor....
