Have you ever had Measles or the German Measles?

Measles and German measles are actually two different illnesses. Measles is usually more serious and comes with a high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a noticeable rash. German measles, also called rubella, is generally much milder, with a light fever, rash, and swollen glands, but it can be especially dangerous for pregnant women because it may harm the developing baby.

I've actually had both in my lifetime, how about you?

Going by my family, when my mom was little. She had mumps measle and chicken pox all at once. Don't know if that is possible, but that's the story I was told since I was a kid

I had both measles, and chicken pox but never knew it. When the doctor asked about the shingles vaccine I told him that I wasn’t aware of having the disease. He ran a blood test and confirmed it, but he said it must have been a mild case. Although all three siblings had it at the same time!
