about 400 peeps in Exeter got it, but one question what does wanting kids have to do with mumps? i dont understand!!
Mumps is honestly not that bad. It's like a big heavy cold and throat infection and you swell up like a hamster..it does hurt to eat and you are very sleepy. Keep warm and have lots of painkillers and soft food. It took me about a week to recover, the last week of my uni term before xmas!
You need to have had a booster about 2 weeks before it really kicks in. Quite a few people had it in Soton but an excellent vaccination programme started VERY early meant a lot of people didn't get it.

A good friend of mine is just getting over it. She had her booster and then showed symptoms of mumps a week after.
I know a couple other people that had it in college as well. There was a set of injections arranged recently but a few of my friends couldn't be bothered to get them. The males got especially worried when they found out the *special* symptoms they can have. They thought that I was messing about when I told them.

There's been about 10 cases in our sixth form and a lot more across the area, but the local authorites have done **** all about it. I'm going to get a booster sometime this week.

I have it right now... i hate looking like a human hamster! and worst of all ive acctually had the MMR!
I am really annoyed this this was allowed to spread so much at Uni, its totaly unacceptable that people came to lectures with it etc. Brin quarenteen back i say (she who has been banished to her room for almost a week).

hehe - there was a massive problem with it in Coventry; like 20 people in my year got it and like a load in other years too. I thought it was pretty funny though because i was vaccinated against it...

My friend came to my party with it, but I don't think she's given it to anyone else (yet!)... she kept a scarf over her face... not very practical at a barn dance!
