Fatigue

Hi everyone, english is not my first language so please excuse my bad grammar.

I began to feel fatigued and sick in December-January, but I didn't think much of it and continued to lift weights and drink alcohol on the weekends. Suddenly I got very sick, I couldn't walk to the toilet without exhaustion, and I got a mild fever. However I never got those standard symptoms, like a sore throat and so on, i just felt suuuper fatigued. I got diognosed with mononucleosis in late of January, and I have been feeling tired since. I have had weeks where I felt fine, and even went on longer hikes, and drank alcohol. But Its gotten worse now. Its been 4 months with fatigue and brainfog (almost feeling like im in a dream state), and I am starting to loose hope. The doctors keep telling me that this won't last forever and I just have to wait it out, but I kinda doubt it after reading some of your guys posts. I have also read that this can Lead to CFS which is my worst nightmare. Is there anything that I can do, or not do to make this better? Do I have to learn to live with this?

Kind regards of a concerned 21 year old.
