I fly out on March the 3rd and yesterday discovered I've got Mumps! The right hand side of my face is swolen so I look like like a lopsided hampster.

Another reason that you have to get better is that the US Immos may not allow you into the country if you continue to look like a lopsided hampster. They might insist on quarantine. [laugh][laugh]

Cheers Nostro, that made me laugh.[msnwink]

That's if the airline have let you fly in the first place. If you, at that stage are still looking like this then a) the airline will probably stop you flying in case it is spread through the ac. and b) I think it may be classed as a "communicable disease"so they may deny access under visa waiver.
Whatever I'd check with your insurance company and see the position if you have to cancel - just in case.
Hopefully you'll be better soon and just think of all the daytime tv you can watch?

Which must be quite difficult under the circumstances.
On a more serious note, following on from Steph Goodrum's posting, I think you should be OK by the time you're due to fly. The Ibuprofen should bring the swelling down even if the antibiotic is ineffective (which it will be for mumps) and you should have improved clinically enough to be allowed into a plane.

[msnsmile2]Oh dear hope not!

Nostro - thank you so much for taking the time to add that on, I must admit it has been bothering me, but my GP did also say I should be OK to fly, may just look a bit odd on the photos though if the swelling hasn't gone down!

How in the world did you get the mumps!!!??? I thought that was one disease on its way to being wiped out, due to vacinations. I sure hope so, as I never had them as a kid, but today's kids all get immunizied against them.

I am lucky never to have had the mumps, you certainly dont hear much about it these days.
However, a couple of years ago, my son was admitted to hospital with a dangerously high temperature and after two weeks of the doctors trying every test imaginable, they concluded it must have been Scarlet Fever, (which my mother in law had told them from day 1[msnsmile2])
I hope you feel better soon Diane[grouphug]

Ah but over here a lot of parents have stopped having their children immunised with the MMR. There has been a lot of publicity about it possibly causing Autism, so it is now on the increase in this country.
I work with the general public, and this is what happens!
