DD had her MMR three weeks ago. Week later had high temps for about 4 days. Dr dismissed it. About another week later she developed a viral type rash then few days after that a rash of tiny spots that covered her torso, face and tops of legs. I would have just put it all down to MMR BUT, DH and I are feeling terrible. Really Really achy painful eyes, achy body, fatigue and we both now have a rash on our torso. We're generally OK but by the evening feeling pretty rubbish and DD has been very unhappy. DD and I both have hacking coughs and my chest does feel sore though I've not really had a cold.

What are these weird symptoms? Could it be linked to DD's MMR and how likely is it that DH and I are both suffering too. I know it's a live vacine but does that mean she is effectively 'contagious' as it were?

Sounds like you've all had the same virus. Don't think the effects are contagious.

No, the side effects of MMR are not contagious

Thanks, I was convinced I'd got rubella
