To be very pissed off (health related)

[Ofalltheginjoints]

After a bit of a rough 2016 health wise I was looking forward to a good 2017, today woke up looking like I'd gone 10 rounds with a boxer and GP tells me I've got Mumps, bloody Mumps, despite having had the MMR vaccine twice (who knew it can run out)

I feel very sorry for myself, going to have to miss work for the next 5 days (at least), miss family events and I'm worried I've infected other people before I knew I had it (thank god DN has had his injections)

AIBU to want to cry with frustration that this has happened after everything else last year

DailyFail - "kids are immunized because they were the ones infecting unprotected adults."

No.... Really??? That had never occurred to me. You are so clever!

Of course I know that. My repeated point which you have managed to sleep through for several posts is that I am not in the business of performing invasive procedures on DC that is of no benefit to them AND has risks especially when this is expected for the benefit of adults who are perfectly capable of getting themselves to a clinic to get tested & vaccinated.

Is that clearer?

Yello, are you trying to get me angry? I can't think of any other reason for your last post.

As I said above, I'm not an anti-vaxer. But you will not blame DD for infecting you with anything if you could have simply gotten a booster.

Yes, in the cases of people that can't get vaccinated it's different. But mothers that simply don't get tested (and vaccinated accordingly)? We'll that is not my problem. They are responsible adults, aren't they?

Why is cote an idiot? It seems like she's doing what she sees as the best and healthiest option for her DC.

Ooh a personal attack. How clever.

Reasoning and debate not working too well for you today, then?

clandestino of course not, I wasn't saying the fact my kids didn't get measles proves anything about MMR, my response was to a poster who said that "anti-vaxxers" were all changing their tune during an outbreak, I was pointing out that my tube stayed the same, that i just got on with my life.
