Vaccines - Can someone clarify for me...

[Guest guest]

Okay, I'm not worried or anything, but I am curious. Hubby had the MMR

vaccine on Friday. I asked the GP if there was any danger to me or

precautions I should take because of my Graves. The answer was no.

In 1992 I had a routine physical...2 days later my doctor called and asked me

if I ever had chicken pox as a child. I did not, so he had me come in for

blood work. Turns out that the assisting nurse at my physical came down with

chicken pox the day after my physical. My blood work showed that I had had

chicken pox as a child, dr said it could have been a very mild case that went

unnoticed. Anyhow, about 2 weeks later I developed shingles.

Are ya'll saying that if we are exposed to measles, mumps, rubella, etc. that

we are endangering ourselves because of our Graves/autoimmune issues?

Someone please clarify for me!! Thanks!
