Well, I've had all 3 - pneumonia, a collapsed lung from Endo, and mono.
Well, not all at the same time.
You should have your lung x-rayed again. I'm not a doctor, but from my
lung collapse experience I think that If it's fully expanded, then you
know that you're recovering still from the pneumonia and the mono. Mono
can knock you off your ass - I tried to push through it and ended up
bedridden for over amonth. Even when you think you feel better, you
should stay in bed. Your immune system is compromised. So get back
into bed and keep drinking fluids!
And get another xray.
