Has anyone else had measles as an adult?!


Question: Has anyone else had measles as an adult!?
I found out today that this is what I am currently suffering with, and I have been told that it is far worse to have as an adult than to have it as a childhood disease!. I certainly haven't any energy for anything!.

Has anyone else had it as an adult, and what was your experience like!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Jack, I was very surprised to find out I had the measles when I was in my mid twenties!. I had measles as a child, Didn't think I could get them again!. I was miserable!. There is no treatment, you just have to ride it out!. The doctor did advise me to stay away from pregnant women!. Being exposed to measles in the early stage of pregnancy can cause birth defects!.

I advise taking vitamins, pain medication for the pain and fever if you have one!. Also drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest!. Hope you feel better soon!.

I've never had measles Jack, but when I was 12 my father got them and he was 51 years old at the time!. He was extremely sick - out of work two weeks, bedridden and ran a very high fever!. It got to the point he was almost hospitalized!. From what his doctor told him then, measles is far harder on an adult body than it is a child's one!.

Rest up Jack, you'll need it and keep your strength by eating healthy even though you won't feel like eating!.
