"I hope you don't have Measles"
My mum said that to me last night. I had to call in sick for work yesterday cause I had a migraine. When I still wasn't completely over it last night I called in again saying I'm still not well and couldn't go in today. Good thing. Now I'm dizzy. I sit here and I'm disorientated. And nauseous.

Ten to 14 days after infection with the virus, symptoms will begin to show. Initially they include: fever, weakness, loss of appetite and sticky or itchy eyes. The child's nose may be blocked and he or she may lose their voice, have a hacking cough and find bright light unpleasant.
By the third day, tiny white/blue spots will appear on the inside of the mouth. They may have a fine red circle around them. They are called Koplik's spots.
Following this, a blotchy red rash appears. The rash usually starts behind the ears, and then spreads to the face, the body and then to the arms and legs.
Although i have to say i laughed at a google entry that began: "Measles, best known for its typical skin rash, is very rare, and a child who is properly vaccinated is extremely unlikely to contract the disease." wonder on what planet!!
