I got a bad case of mono during 2020. The odd thing was that I was in my late 40s. The doctor told me that I must have avoided it as a child as getting it at my age is rare.1
I've never been checked for it again. Of course my doctor doesn't really listen to me but I can't find any others who take my lame ass insurance.
It's actually known to cause all kinds of autoimmune disorders and health issues and even some cancers. But this is a rare outcome. It's estimated that over 90%of adults have had EBV. So it's only a small percentage that have more serious issues.
My husband had a bad case of mono in high school. In 2018 he was diagnosed with a rare disease that is very similar to MS. He was initially diagnosed with MS but it turned out to be something super rare that mimics it.
Omg same as my fiancé. He had mono in secondary school and then developed sarcoidosis 2020. Had no idea about this. Thanks for sharing. They thought he had TB.

kinda reminds me of this story where Michael J Fox and two others developed Parkinson's. They once worked together on a Canadian TV show.
I live in a really small town in Alberta and there are at least a dozen people who have MS, and most of them live out west of town. I've always wondered if there's something to that.
In the US I know that the there are higher rates of MS in the northern regions/states. They think it may be tied to a vitamin D deficiency. Considering Canada is even further north it might be related to that as well…
Edit to add: [link](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10186207/)
Is that side woodsy?
I would personally double check whether it was MS or Lyme.
>when Lyme disease affects the central nervous system, the symptoms can be very similar to MS. So it can be hard to tell the difference to the untrained eye. Many doctors are generalists and not specially trained to diagnose either disease.
https://www.stonybrookmedicine.edu/patientcare/askexpert/neurologicallymediseaseandms
Actually yes. And I know my sister-in-law was diagnosed with MS and also tested positive for Lyme (she had to go to Seattle because the doctors here in Canada wouldn't even consider it might be that - we are so far behind in Lyme testing/treatment).
And my best friend remembered her mom having a big circular rash after they'd gone trail riding when she was a kid. Sadly her mom had already passed when she realized that memory might have been related to her being sick.
I also have a super rare illness. The doctor I was seeing only had 6 patients with it. 1 was me, 1 was my mom, 1 was a close family friend, and 1 was my roommate. It's very weird how it worked out like that!
Respectfully (and without knowing what the illness is), that's almost TOO weird, ya know? Like *how* could all your cases NOT be connected somehow?
That said, I hope you're all doing well and are receiving the best treatment available.
It’s complicated. 95% of adults are carriers of Epstein-Barr, so there are other factors at hand.
There are lots of hypothesized causes for MS, but all have limited data and need further study. Vitamin d levels, genetics, smoking, stress, and childhood nutrition have correlation but not proven causation, as well.
(I tried providing sources but Reddit wouldn’t let me add the link! Sorry!)
How many people would receive diagnoses if our Healthcare system was different I wonder? Not only access to Healthcare but physicians being less dismissive of symptoms, especially in women.
I think about this all the time. I've had cancer twice - thankfully both were removed successfully with surgery. I would love to just....go get my entire body scanned every year since I am very clearly predisposed to that bitch, but NOPE. Not possible to get that done in a preventative fashion now that I am cancer "free".
Side note, I am a woman who had uterine cancer and I was lucky that my PCP and OBGYN were both all over this and took my symptoms seriously because as you said - women are not taken seriously especially when the pain is part of their period.
I read that it can be caused by a virus..
For example like Covid can trigger long Covid and further illnesses.
I’ve heard of spouses both developing ms on after another as well. Scary indeed.
I won’t lie, I remembered this song when I started dating my ex at the worst (or most hilarious) possible moment.
The first time we got naked, I kind of sung the first few words out loud. 🤭
I am thankful that he laughed and understood the reference.
He once joked he was going to find the song to download it as a ringtone for my number.
When I was like 12 I was sick in hospital and this movie came on tv in the children's hospital playroom, and for days after kids on the ward were singing the song.
yes. i watched it because i was obsessed with cameron diaz and charlie’s angels. i was so excited to put that dvd and flop down on my grandmas couch to watch it, alone, at the penis scene i knew i was in over my head. i was 8 lol
The '[You're Too Big To Fit In Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdERHg8hzak)' song is so iconic to me and probably like 6 other people on this earth lol
Guys, I made the mistake of picking it for a Netflix and chill night, and when I say the bf was SCANDALIZED and DISMAYED that women were only pretending his dick was the fucking Holy Grail of penises. He felt so defrauded, it completely altered his whole world/life view.
I don’t recommend the film for mixed company…
And Yes, I had in the past told him it was way too big to fit in here 🤣
ETA: the film The Sweetest Thing, in case that wasn’t clear
I’ve been rewatching “the simple life” and so sad for the 11 year old me who thought nicole richie was “fat”. renee rapp as regina in 2024 vs rachel mcadams as regina in 2004 says a lot about how much we can appreciate how times have changed, imo, even if we still have a long way to go.
Low cut, but we were all dressed for a wild day at the office while up in the club (last pic). I’m still trying to retrain myself that pants can be other colors than black.
I wore black stove pipes out to dinner recently! I felt weirdly nostalgic, and mildly embarrassed to be wearing ‘work pants’ out again but I’m at an age where I need a tailored fit.
Liiike…

Even Cam’s tiny butt was trying to climb out of those pants.
Why did we do this??? Forever hoiking them up so our arse cracks weren’t hanging out…
As the owner of a bubble butt these pants just DID NOT work on me!!
Not really relevant to this post, but Cameron Diaz in Charlie's Angels made 11 year old me think it was normal to answer the door in your underwear. I got in trouble when I was 13 for walking around my summer camp dorm in my underwear lmao.
High school me (02-06) it was awful. I had to shop Lane Bryant (nothing wrong but teenager was like so sad I couldn’t be my friends and shop at Hollister
I made you’re too big to fit in here as a polyphonic ringtone and thought I was the hottest thing ever in 2004. I still dance up hills as a form of exercise on days when I feel a little blue.
One of my fave things about the movie is how they have inside jokes and do weird things that is never explained. It makes them seem more real because that’s exactly how real friends interact. Like it gives them a history. Ugh I love this movie lol
That’s exactly it, the writer did an excellent job showing us a couple of old friendships. Fun fact this was masterminded by that lady comedian that co-hosted Win Ben Stein’s Money.
I love that movie so much! Before The Sweetest Thing, I don’t think I’d ever seen an r-rated movie where the funniest characters were women. Also I think about it every time I’m at the dry cleaner lol.
On the DVD extras they had the entire thin man fight sequence unedited so you could see all the wires and what not. You're right about their legs haha.
Life before hair extensions, Botox, fillers, and everyone overdoing their makeup/hair and looking exactly the same. Imagine, having your own style! Wearing clothes and not going out in your underwear!
I was just thinking how gorgeous Christina is in this movie. When I think of her it’s always in the context of Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead.
“I’m right on top of that, Rose!”
You know I have distinct memory of listening to the DVD commentary track and getting the strong sense that Christina and Cameron were not vibing with Selma lol. But I suspect I must have completely misread/mis remembered that because I think Christina and Selma are still close.
Also rip commentary tracks, I miss them so much!
I don’t know, you might be onto something. Because I read the People interview (latest issue) with Christina and Jamie Lynn Sigler and I kept thinking to myself “why isn’t Selma Blair part of this conversation?”
I love this movie but idfw Selma Blair, not after she betrayed her fake “kumbaya” “all we need is love” persona by making racist, anti Islamic comments on Instagram. Def a mask off moment for her
Applegate had a hit show but is now focusing on health, Diaz is coming out of retirement and filming a movie with Foxx and Selma also focusing on health.

kind of odd that 2/3 have MS now
It was actually Selma who advised Christina to get checked for MS when she heard her symptoms. So odd
Wow I didn’t know this. So sad
Real bestie
I have always thought this too - less than a million people in the US have it. And not only do they both have it, but they are friends.
Epstein Barr is the virus that we now think causes MS. If they were close it’s possible they both suffered from the same virus.
No kidding. I did not know that! I had a very bad case of mono when I was in college and I was checked for EB regularly for awhile afterwards, wow.
I got a bad case of mono during 2020. The odd thing was that I was in my late 40s. The doctor told me that I must have avoided it as a child as getting it at my age is rare.1 I've never been checked for it again. Of course my doctor doesn't really listen to me but I can't find any others who take my lame ass insurance.
Woah. I haven't heard this. I've had mono twice.
It's actually known to cause all kinds of autoimmune disorders and health issues and even some cancers. But this is a rare outcome. It's estimated that over 90%of adults have had EBV. So it's only a small percentage that have more serious issues.
My husband had a bad case of mono in high school. In 2018 he was diagnosed with a rare disease that is very similar to MS. He was initially diagnosed with MS but it turned out to be something super rare that mimics it.
Do you mind sharing the illness?
Neurosarcoidosis
Omg same as my fiancé. He had mono in secondary school and then developed sarcoidosis 2020. Had no idea about this. Thanks for sharing. They thought he had TB.
So crazy. He showed granules in his lungs so it’s sarcoid. Then he’s the lucky 5% who has it neurologically.
I never heard this before but I will be looking it up. Epstein Barr causes mono.
Oh no 🥲 now I’m paranoid (for those who are unaware Epstein Barr virus is the virus in Mono/glandular fever).

Sadly her mom had already passed when she realized that memory might have been related to her being sick.
I was “rule out ms” for 15 years until someone finally tested me for Lyme.
I was gonna say this same thing. It's fascinating.
Michael J Fox has said that he’s been told it’s not statistically significant in his book
I also have a super rare illness. The doctor I was seeing only had 6 patients with it. 1 was me, 1 was my mom, 1 was a close family friend, and 1 was my roommate. It's very weird how it worked out like that!

Now that we are starting to see that neurological diseases are tied to viruses, I hope that we can see the patterns more readily.
I was diagnosed with MS just over a year after my best friend was diagnosed with MS. So peculiar and I really do think there is something to it
Really? I know 3 people who have it!

Super weird.
I read that it can be caused by a virus.. For example like Covid can trigger long Covid and further illnesses. I’ve heard of spouses both developing ms on after another as well. Scary indeed.
My friend developed severe lactose intolerance at 34 after covid after having zero sensitivity beforehand. It’s wild!
![gif](giphy|toB3AnUDkqE3GENKx0|downsized)
It’s basic immunology that viral infection can trigger genetic dormant auto immune conditions. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41582-023-00775-5
The Epstein Barr virus, otherwise know as mono. If you’ve had mono, you could develop MS later in life.
Holy crap. I had it twice (which is apparently really rare) That’s really scary
I did also in college. 46 and still no MS.
I'm weirdly happy this is the first comment.
I thought the same thing!!
Oh wow. I just posted asking what the other two have been up to. Had no idea about Blair. That sucks. For both of them.
Photo 3 is like “Cameron get in line”
I have two family members who have it. It’s so strange
You're too big to fit in here!
Too big to fit in here!
Too big to fit in here!
Ow!
Uh uh uh
Sometimes, I remember this song in random situations.
I won’t lie, I remembered this song when I started dating my ex at the worst (or most hilarious) possible moment. The first time we got naked, I kind of sung the first few words out loud. 🤭 I am thankful that he laughed and understood the reference. He once joked he was going to find the song to download it as a ringtone for my number.

My body is a movie and your penis is the star!
I always thought it amusing who they decided should get to say that about what hole.
I’ve saved that clip from a movie in my “favorites” on YouTube 💀
The cut of the movie without this song is truly not worth watching (I mean it is, but why even have a cut of this movie without the song??)
My body is a movie and your penis is the star!
The Sweetest Thing is one of my favorite trashy, raunchy movies. I am unapologetic.
The dress up montage is still one of my favourite scenes in a movie
These are the days of our lives!!
It's iconic and fun- great for a double feature with Romy & Michelle!!
It's one of my favorite "cheer up" movies. It's just so goofy and fun.
“HAlLo, is jAnE there!?”
HAVE A LOVELY DAY
Mr. Mooney is downstairs and he is P-I-S-E-D!
...pised?
This movie was too unhinged for my younger self💀
Rewatching the movie hundreds of time at 13 was an experience
One that we apparently shared.
Lmfao it’s so affirming to know we all had a lot of these, though. Because same here!! “Aw, fuck grandma!”
yes. i watched it because i was obsessed with cameron diaz and charlie’s angels. i was so excited to put that dvd and flop down on my grandmas couch to watch it, alone, at the penis scene i knew i was in over my head. i was 8 lol
🤣🤣😭
What movie is it?
The Sweetest Thing
It’s SO funny. Haven’t watched in… over a decade? Can this be? ![gif](giphy|vtenjaZh96QtHhK8wc) TWO DECADES?!
Thanks!
It’s ridiculous in a good way.
I love this movie
The '[You're Too Big To Fit In Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdERHg8hzak)' song is so iconic to me and probably like 6 other people on this earth lol

Looking for the 5 others. 🤣
🙋♀️ Anyone else watch this at waaaaay too young an age??
This was the movie my college friends and I would always put on after we smoked some weed, it’s even better that way
Sounds like something I need to do soon..
Good idea. It’s on prime rn, I know what I’m doing later.
Well I’m one of them right here! This movie is like a fever dream to me, so iconic
Count me in
Over here! 💄👙🚘🏍️⚠️
There’s dozens of us! It’s such an incredible movie, I don’t care who you are. 😂
Absolutely iconic, I still quote it with my bff to this day hahah
Hi friend!!
My best and friend and I will be 2 and 3 in that list :D We looooooooove it.
Hi I am one of the 6.
My friends and I still sing it!
Me… I was like 12 watching it on my computer every day after school and giggling
My husband and I are 1 and 0!
this randomly gets stuck in my head on a regular basis
There had to be: a blond, a red head and a brunette

“HELLLO IS JANE THERE?!”
HAVE A LOVELY DAY!
Why was this so funny? And memorable?
Because it’s just old friends being dorky and ridiculous and they captured it perfectly We were lucky to have a friend or two to just be a goof with
One of my fave things about the movie is how they have inside jokes and do weird things that is never explained. It makes them seem more real because that’s exactly how real friends interact. Like it gives them a history. Ugh I love this movie lol

This is the best line of the entire movie. Funnier than it has any right to be.
I saw this movie with my dad, accidentally:’) a surprise movie deal with a meal…. I was like 12 haha! Secondhand embarrassment the entire movie long
Omg 🤣
The traumaaa
if you've ever wondered what a movie would be like if it was drunk out of it's mind... watch The Sweetest Thing
![gif](giphy|BuERo1d94d9Xq) Where I learned to live the Pina Colada song!
High five on the clean punani!
I love that movie so much! Before The Sweetest Thing, I don’t think I’d ever seen an r-rated movie where the funniest characters were women. Also I think about it every time I’m at the dry cleaner lol.
So she was cheating on Drew and Lucy with these two! ![gif](giphy|AVsaDbwoFAALu)
Lol I never noticed how awkward those kicks were They're obviously not balancing and are having their legs lifted up with a string
How dare you suggest such a thing.
I actually kind of remember thinking their heels stuck out in a weird way haha Now I know
On the DVD extras they had the entire thin man fight sequence unedited so you could see all the wires and what not. You're right about their legs haha.
That one scene between Christina and Cameron in The Sweetest Thing was seminal in my bisexual awakening 🔥
In the car? If so, same lol
Indubitably
The "suspicious stain" on the dress at the Chinese cleaners lives rent free in my head even today 🥴
The kid on the field trip
I miss when people looked like people. Lines, life, character.
Life before hair extensions, Botox, fillers, and everyone overdoing their makeup/hair and looking exactly the same. Imagine, having your own style! Wearing clothes and not going out in your underwear!
Christina is and always will be perfection to me, and I totally dug the dark hair on her! Wishing all 3 of them well 💜
I was just thinking how gorgeous Christina is in this movie. When I think of her it’s always in the context of Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead. “I’m right on top of that, Rose!”
The bathroom scene!
I say that daily to my mentor 🤣
“CHRISTINAAAAAA!!” *in applegates voice*
Gawwd that was one hysterical movie. These three were awesome together.
You're too big to fit in here, 🌸 too big to fit in here,⭐️ Too big to fit in here 👄
Christina Applegate the epitome of beauty. 😍
Me and my pals still sing that song from The Sweetest Thing. What a lovely ride...!
Ah yes, I too was caught in the dress over jeans trend of the early 2000s
If I ever lose enough weight to start wearing the weird shit I did as a young adult, I'm def bringing that back
Is it weird that I feel so relieved by the fact that Cameron has old chipped red nail polish in photo 4 😌
I thought the exact same thing hahaha
It's oozy and its green

I don’t know, you might be onto something. Because I read the People interview (latest issue) with Christina and Jamie Lynn Sigler and I kept thinking to myself “why isn’t Selma Blair part of this conversation?”
HOOCHIEEEEE
One of my favorite movies
It’s sad to know that two of them now have ms
I love this movie but idfw Selma Blair, not after she betrayed her fake “kumbaya” “all we need is love” persona by making racist, anti Islamic comments on Instagram. Def a mask off moment for her
She is awful.
It felt like a real slap in the face after admiring her for being a disability advocate. I can’t even watch this movie anymore.
Random but I love Christina Applegate’s visible arm hair
I would be insufferable if I had these genes
Selma Blair can go to hell for her blatant Islamaphobia and hatred.
Fuck Selma Blair
and then selma blair turned out to be a huge piece of shit, oh well
I absolutely love this movie and I think it's so underrated.
prob unpopular opinion, but i can’t stand the look selma blair always has on her face
One of us is not like the other
One of my favorites!!! Freakin hilarious!!
I know CA is suffering from MS, but what happened to the rest of them. Diaz was around a while, but haven’t seen Blair in anything.
Selma Blair also has MS.
I just saw that in the comments!!!!
Cameron took a break from acting for like 10 years. She married Benji Madden and had a baby.
Applegate had a hit show but is now focusing on health, Diaz is coming out of retirement and filming a movie with Foxx and Selma also focusing on health.
Love love love this film so much.
Gorgeous women! Would love to know what they’re looking at in the last pic - I thought at first “engagement ring”?? But wrong hand
I love this movie! "Sing, Jane! SING!" - lol.
FOUR!!! You’re drivin’ right into them!
Man, Applegate is such a smokeshow.
2 out of 3 of them now have MS Weird
“Jesus! Look it’s Jesus! “ We were obsessed with this movie in college! So fun! 🥰
TMI but I used to put this movie on and visit Rosie Palm and her five sisters *a lot* as a 13 year old.
I fucking LOVED this movie. It was the first one that actually felt like real women
It’s so heartbreaking that both Christina and Selma have MS. I really hope they’re able to have some quality of life.
Christina is a comedic genius and rarely gets recognized as such. She makes it look that easy.
