When did my mono symptoms start? When might they end?

I'm almost 40yo and I tested positive on the "mononucleosis, heterophile Ab, serum" test in late February. I already have chronic fatigue though, so I don't know what my mono symptoms began.

I did notice a marked increase in fatigue starting in early December. However after my diagnosis my fatigue did get significantly worse. I started having days I felt really weak and shaky and didn't have the energy to leave the house the whole day, which I hadn't had before that. My only other symptom is I can't eat as much, but I had that before to some degree because of gastroparesis.

If my symptoms began Dec 1, then it would be highly unusual for them to last past June 1 (6 months). But if they began Feb 1, then that extends to August 1. I wonder if the timing of testing positive tells use something about how long it might last. Being so tired is really boring, isolating, and depressing.
