Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 Hi!!!! Has anyone had mumps as an adult? I was wondering if what I have this week is the mumps. My mom can't remember if I had them as a child. This started out with a flu like virus where I slept most of the day for two days straight. One gland swelled up rather large and then the other side did the same the next day. It is really painful to swallow. Cold liquids are great and hot ones are annoying. I guess that I should have had my MMR booster shot. Just kidding of course!!!!! No one in my family has gotten this virus and my husband has not had mumps as far as he knows. Your thoughts?

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2000 Report Share Posted September 29, 2000 The sterility issue with the Mumps comes up often but after doing some research on it this is whatI found: Mendelsohn says that orchitis rarely causes sterility and when it does, because only one testicle is usually affected, the sperm production capacity of the unaffected testicle could repopulate the world! About 1 out of every 4 adolescent or adult men who have mumps may experience painful swelling of the testicles. Men who have mumps after puberty can develop swelling of one (rarely of both) testes. These symptoms usually go away in 1-2 weeks. Sterility is very rare after a testicluar infection even if both testes are involved. List Owner of Vaccinations and Vaccine Info www.geocities.com/mom2q (my work in progress!) Mom of two great kids who are vaccine free! Mumps What about mumps and sterility in males? Isn't anyone concerned their boys might become sterile? Any information would be appreciated. Blessings, Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 Hi, le! When my son came down with Mumps, the pediatrician kept saying, " It can't be Mumps, he was vaccinated. It's a Mumps-like virus, related to Mumps, " etc. My reply was, " If it looks like a duck, it quacks like a duck, it's a duck! " It was Mumps! I had it as a kid, my son had, it wasn't fun, but it was over in a week, and it was no big deal. I still don't know why everyone freeks out so much about Mumps. Mumps Sheri, Thanks for your input... I took her off the antibiotic...she only had one dose. I think her dr. gave it to her because she didn't know what else to do....she just kept saying " it CAN " T be mumps " It's impossible " Anyways...I think I gave it to her because I panicked. is doing just fine though. Her face is absolutely huge ! Instead of *looking* like a hamster, - she looks as if she has a hamster in each cheek !

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Dear Sheri, was Standing by the bowl...in order to come out of her spot in the living room she had to don her " halloween mask " . - She thought it was fun...I had her do it to be safe.... . C'mon - I've learned about it, talked to a couple dr.'s about it etc... They all told me that yes, mumps is very contagious if you have a transfer of saliva or urine from one person to the other...especially with little kids because they wipe their hands with their mouths a lot and touch other people..and they urinate on toilet seats and don't clean up after themselves.....Yes yes yes - we all know that they are sloppy, slurpy little things. was not hovering over the bowl, dripping saliva onto the candy...she was standing near it. And again..she had on a *mask* I am not , not taking her her situation seriously...but I cannot over-react either. In contrast to this woman making her hasty exit, we had our other neighbors from directly across the street, one who works as a nurse prac. , and her husband who is a surgeon -- stop over to enquire as to her health - with their 4 children who took candy from our bowl too. He checked to make sure she wasn't showing signs of meningitis ( which he says used to be a uncommon occurrence - but better to be safe and check). He told my husband and I that we should have taken her out to dinner for the evening so she wouldn't feel bad about missing out on Halloween --as long as we kept her away from other families who might be in physical contact with her. Which we didn't do, - based on the waitress cleaning up her dishes scenario...but ,I feel very much that we have been safe in regards to others. We are however waiting to see if anyone else in our extended family comes down with it. All of the cousins play together frequently - before we noticed her face swelling we had no cause to suspect her illness. Now she is convinced that her " whole shot didn't work " and that the measles will afflict her on either Thanksgiving or on Christmas ! :~) Thanks again for the advice !! Your time is appreciated. le I understand your thoughts and if they are vaccinated what are they worried about, but I don't think you realize the risk you are putting people at who may be severely immune impaired and mumps could kill them and what if someone is pregnant - just not a good idea. She should be kept away from others while she is in communicable stages.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 le, I haven't been following this group of emails, so maybe I am out of line here, but, in general, it is my opinion that if I or my children have a contagious disease, they are kept at home. Period. It isn't right to expose others, unless they want to be exposed (i.e., the " parties " ). Just my one cent worth.

I do know that my oldest didn't titer to the HD satisfaction (and no, we didn't repeat the shot ... duh! if it didn't work the first time, what makes them think it would work the 2nd?) anyway, I do hope alex is feeling better each day! take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2002 Report Share Posted April 27, 2002 Here is what Sherri had previously posted on treating mumps. Jen L. PRINT THESE PAGES OUT SO YOU HAVE THEM HANDY - mumps is usually very mild and especially can be very mild without complications when treated with homeopathy (also would use Vitamin A and C) I have compiled these sites - These are from a variety of homeopathic websites to give you clues as to what remedy is needed. Also have on hand 2 books for a more detailed help: Miranda Castro's - The Complete Homeopathy Handbook In Us http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0312063202/ref=ase_wellwithinA/103-09 59395-1668617 In UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0330349260/wellwithin-21/202-201743 3-6213405 Dana Ullman's - Everybody's Guide to HOmeopathic Medicine In Us http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0874778433/ref=ase_wellwithinA/103-09 59395-1668617 In UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0874778433/wellwithin-21/202-201743 3-6213405 Also find yourself a quality homeopath for backup http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/STEVELIST.htm http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/homeo.htm Sheri ******** http://www.homeopathic.com/ailments/new/Mumps.htm A Homeopathic Perspective on Mumps ©1992, Dana Ullman, M.P.H. (Excepted from Homeopathic Medicine for Children and Infants, Tarcher/Putnam) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- REMEDIES LISTED IN CAPITOL LETTERS REPRESENT MORE FREQUENTLY INDICATED REMEDIES Any teenager or adult who gets the mumps should receive medical attention, and so should any child who also experiences difficulty hearing or who has convulsions, neck stiffness, severe headache, or great weakness. Homeopathic medicines are often effective in treating the average case of mumps, and help reduce the chances of complications. Aconitum: Useful at the beginning stages of mumps, these children have a sudden onset of fever, restlessness, anxiety, and great thirst. BELLADONNA: These children have a noticeably flushed face and throbbing headache. They have swollen glands that are hot to touch. They are drowsy but have difficulty sleeping. Mercurius: Right-sided swelling of throat glands typify children who will benefit from this medicine. They also have profuse and offensive salivation and perspiration. PHYTOLACCA: When children with mumps have stony hard throat glands, especially on the right side, this medicine should be considered. The throat pains may extend to the ear, and they may have an irresistable desire to bite their teeth together. One of their characteristic symptoms is pain from sticking og out their tongue. They tend to be worse in cold or wet weather. PILOCARPINUM: Some homeopaths assert that this medicine is the best remedy for the mumps, although there are few known distinguishing symptoms that it offers, except excessive salivation and perspiration. This is also a good remedy for complications that some children get from the mumps. Pulsatilla: This medicine is helpful in children approaching puberty who get the mumps and experience swollen breasts or testicles. They are thirstless, despite having a fever, and they are sensitive to warm rooms. Rhus tox: These children have swollen glands which are worse on the left side. Their symptoms are aggravated by cold, and they may have cold sores on their lips. ******** http://www.gnc.com/wellness/natpharm/Homeo/Mumps_hm.htm Homeopathic Remedies for Mumps Mumps is a viral infection in which the salivary glands, especially the large parotid gland in the cheek, become inflamed and swollen. Fever, headache, pain in front of and below the ears, and dry mouth (or sometimes excessive salivation) are common symptoms. The following homeopathic remedies can be helpful in many cases. Mumps in older children and adults can be serious, since ovaries and testicles can become inflamed or damaged. If areas other than the salivary glands are involved, if fever and headache are extreme, or if the person has abdominal pain and vomiting, consult a doctor right away. For dosage information, please read the information at the end of this section. See also " Using Homeopathy With Professional Guidance " in What Is Homeopathy? Aconitum napellus: This remedy may be indicated in mumps if the fever comes on suddenly and the person is very agitated. Stabbing or tingling pain can be felt in the jaw or face. The person feels worse from warmth and better from fresh air, and is often very thirsty. Apis mellifica: When this remedy is indicated, the face looks puffy, pink, and tender, and cool compresses are soothing. Even with fever, thirst is usually low. The person is irritable, disliking interference. Arsenicum album: Strong anxiety and restlessness despite a feeling of exhaustion suggest a need for this remedy. The head may feel hot and the rest of the body chilly. This remedy is sometimes helpful in preventing complications involving the ovaries or testicles. Belladonna: When the illness comes on quickly with high fever, a hot flushed face, and eyes that are sensitive to light, this remedy may be indicated. Shooting pains can be felt in the swollen cheek (most often the right). The person may also have a throbbing headache. Bryonia: This remedy is indicated when the person feels worse from any motion. Hard, tender swelling is felt in the cheek, and fever may be accompanied by headache. The person's mouth feels dry, with thirst for long cold drinks. Bryonia may be helpful if the swelling abruptly disappears, but the person feels worse in general. Calcarea carbonica: This remedy often helps during the mumps if the person's head perspires during sleep, the hands and feet feel cold and damp, and lymph nodes are also swollen. A person who needs this remedy often feels anxious and is easily fatigued. Children may feel hot, but adults tend to be chilly. Carbo vegetabilis: When this remedy is indicated, fever may develop slowly, and the person may feel chilled and faint. The stomach may also be upset, with gas and belching. The person may want to be near a fan or window, craving fresh or moving air. This remedy may often help if testicles, ovaries, or breasts become involved in mumps, when the other symptoms fit. Mercurius solubilis: This remedy can be helpful if hard, painful swelling of the salivary glands occurs below the chin, as well as in the cheeks, along with a large amount of salivation. The person is very sensitive to temperature changes. Offensive breath, swollen lymph nodes, and perspiration during sleep are also seen. Phytolacca: This remedy may be useful if swelling of the parotid gland is sore and tight, or if the breasts or other glands are becoming painful and swollen. The person may feel tired, dizzy, and sore all over. Relief may come from drinking something cold, but the person is better from warmth in general. Pulsatilla: Although this remedy is known for many kinds of children's illnesses, it can also be very helpful when adults come down with the mumps. Discomfort and swelling may be felt in the ovaries, breasts, or testicles. The person feels worse from warmth and in the evening and better from open air. Despite a fever, thirst is often low. A person who needs this remedy usually is emotional, wanting lots of sympathy and comforting. Rhus toxicodendron: When swelling of the cheek looks reddish and the person feels achy, restless, and driven to get up and move around, this remedy may be helpful. Stiffness and aching are relieved by warmth and motion. This remedy may also help to prevent infection with the mumps, and should be considered if older children or adults have been exposed. Homeopathy Dosage Directions --- Select the remedy that most closely matches the symptoms. In conditions where self-treatment is appropriate, unless otherwise directed by a physician, a lower potency (6X, 6C, 12X, 12C, 30X, or 30C) should be used. In addition, instructions for use are usually printed on the label. Many homeopathic physicians suggest that remedies be used as follows: Take one dose and wait for a response. If improvement is seen, continue to wait and let the remedy work. If improvement lags significantly or has clearly stopped, another dose may be taken. The frequency of dosage varies with the condition and the individual. Sometimes a dose may be required several times an hour; other times a dose may be indicated several times a day; and in some situations, one dose per day (or less) can be sufficient. If no response is seen within a reasonable amount of time, select a different remedy. ******* http://www.homeopathic.com/ailments/new/Mumps.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- A Homeopathic Perspective on Mumps ©1992, Dana Ullman, M.P.H.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Rhonda, If they were my children, I'd be sending them to school, exposing them in hopes that they would get the mumps. I'm old enough to remember a family full of mumps(8-10 of us); short fevers, crabby kids, headaches, difficult to eat for a couple of days, probably a mom in distress and lots of tv. It was not a big deal! Compared to the fallout we've experienced from vaccination, it was a picnic!! From: " Rhonda " <joyandcharles@...> Date: Wed May 11, 2005 1:08 pm Subject: mumps at school....help! joyandcharles The Center where our 2.5 year old ASD child goes, has another child whose sibling has the mumps. The child at school is a possible carrier. Thankfully, they are not in the same classroom but there are times when the two may have or could come into contact. We are planning on keeping our child home the remainder of this week and all of next week. Our concern is that of our ASD son and his 9 month old NT brother. NT brother has had no vaccinations and ASD son has had Hep. B. and DTaP series. I'm looking into seeing about getting the Mumps vaccine singled out (for NT brother), though I doubt that our pediatrics office does that. I'd love to hear opinions/and or others experiences with similar situations. We do not want to run the risk of giving our ASD son anymore vaccinations given his history and reaction to the ones we did give him. But what about his brother? Thanks, Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 My sister and brothers all had it in the late 50's. I'm the baby of the family and much younger, so all I know is 2nd hand info from my mom and them. It was no big deal, just as said. a -- " mbrookh " <mbrookh@...> wrote: Rhonda, If they were my children, I'd be sending them to school, exposing them in hopes that they would get the mumps.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Many of the diseases we vaccinate against nowadays aren't a big deal in children. Some are only a problem if a non-immune adult gets them and this actually is a situation where vaccination INCREASES risk since the adults didn't have a chance to become naturally immune as children and there is thus a larger pool of susceptible ones around than there used to be.

I remember a sore jaw and the thrill of having milk shakes for dinner. Not a big deal, for me anyway. Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 I'm the youngest of six, and my mom and dad put mattresses on the floor of the family room so they could take care of us all together. Apart from feeling sick, it was a giant slumber party. Mumps is really only a problem for guys after puberty, some private parts can swell up like grapefruit, but ice takes care of this....has your husband had mumps?? pjand3kids <pjand3kids@...> wrote: My sister and brothers all had it in the late 50's.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Hi, I had the mumps as well. It's not up there with measles in terms of being a serious disease. Still, if you want to vaccinate against it only, there is a pharmacy in NJ that will ship on ice overnight. It's on Dana's website--danasview.net. I contacted them about it and they said all your doc has to do is phone or fax the Rx and they will send it. It costs about 30 bucks. They did say that of the three things in the MMR the mumps is the one they sometimes run out of so it's possible it is not available. Good luck. We're in that deciding mode as well with a younger sibling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 I recall a delivery man told me a story of a man that regularly got his chicken pox booster because for some reason he was led to believe that he was weak immunologic to that disease. He did this even into his adult years. The delivery man told me that the man died after catching the real chicken pox. He said the man's case was different in that the pox were smaller and most of his body. I asked if it might have been small pox? He said no. But he actually died due to the fact that the chicken pox smothered him preventing osmosis. The fellow was fifty-two years old.
