What Causes Extreme Tiredness Post Accident?
i was in a mva, woman spun into me on ice. i just got my records from the er and there were a couple of medical things that stood out. the first day i was in the er, the CAT scan showed a splenic cyst. the next day, spenic cyst and also mono tests positive (which were not the day before). i am being treated for lung problems since the accident because i inhaled glass dust. and i have been exquisitely tired and have to sleep all the time. this started almost immediately with the accident. i have assumed it was due to my lungs healing, but might it be due to the spleen and positive mono? and could that be due to the accident, since prior absolutely no tiredness?

It is hard to pin point exactly what is causing your weakness and sleepiness since you had so many things happening at the same time. The most likely cause though for excessive tired and sleep is Mono. Your only treatment is rest.
Your lung problems do not sound like they are the cause of your fatigue as inhalation of glass would take years of exposure before it would harm enough lung to cause fatigue and breathing problems.
