I’m old enough that I had the “red” measles, the “German”’measles, mumps and chicken pox. May have missed whooping cough and polio which some friends had caught. Only knew one person who had ever had smallpox. My great aunt was made permanently deaf as an 8 year old by the measles.
I, too, had mumps and chicken pox. I escaped polio and whooping cough, and I can't think of anyone who had smallpox. So sorry to hear of the effects of measles on your great aunt.

Thank you; measles permanently altered my aunt’s life. The person who survived smallpox years before I was born was related to my grandfather’s cousin and was one of my babysitters.
Hello. Medicare pays for a bone density every other year. Can't you ask your physician for some blood work pertaining to what may be going on. Let your physician know your symptoms. Blood work cannot be added to your Medicare yearly physical. It would have to be done prior to that. Take care.

2 ReactionsI had measles (as well as mumps and chicken pox), so I believe I shouldn't need a vaccine.
