Nope. But I did get the chicken pox as a kid.

I had measles, mumps and chicken pox as a child.

I was 3 when I had the measles. I remember being sick - and my parents kept me in a dark room because measles causes photosensitivity. (It also depletes the body's stores of vitamin A - which is why blindness sometimes occurs after a bout with the measles. That didn't happen to me.)

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I got lucky. It snuck up on me in my late 20s, I never would have known I'd ever came in contact with it if I hadn't gotten pregnant the second time and tested positive for the virus antibodies which I didn't have during my first prenancy and I've never been vaccinated for. Chicken pox snuck up on me too in my early 30s.

Same here. It wasn't fun.

Yes, had measles and mumps within a couple of weeks of each other, being a second child, mum not as strict able getting vaccinations sad. But have never had chicken pox, so when I decided to have children, had to pay for the vaccination for that.
