I've got a contagious disease!
Been diagnosed with Mumps this morning.Face really painful now and I'm beginning to look like a hamster as well with puffed up cheeks.
Was going to South France on Wed but Doc advised us not to fly due to virus being contagious.and risk of me getting worse whilst there. Well pissed off with that I can tell you. Bored with TV already and got at least another week off yet.

He said the Mumps was all but eradicated until all the fuss over the MMR injections. Cases are increasing dramtically now due to parents worrying wether it's safe or not

Well most people associate mumps with swelling of the errr... "nether regions". Only the truely knowledgable are aware that permanent shrinkage can occur!

My housemate has been diagnosed with mumps this morning too!
And she had the MMR jab when little
Maybe am being thick but kind of thought the point of the jab was to stop you getting it, or maybe it just stops it from being so bad????
Am hoping my little antibodies do their fighting job and stop me from getting it too.
Been loads of it going round uni (am in swansea) but no mention of free jabs. Is there a booster you can get?
Although i guess is a bit late for us lot now

One of my best mates kids got it last week and he has had the MMR jab, hossie told them it doesn't stop the kids from getting it, it just lessens the symptomes.
Worrying a little bit as we went the homeopathic route with our nipper, lets hope she doesn't get it!!
Get well soon Chip

Think it had only just come in then.
Think it sucks you can have it and spread it for 2-3 weeks before getting any of the symptoms! God damn the clever and sneaky little viruses in the world!!!!
