I remember chicken pox parties. Can’t remember measle parties. I had both types of measles, the mumps and chicken pox when I was little. My sisters eyesight was affected when she had the measles. I had No lasting effects. Wasn’t fun having them, but I think I have a pretty good immune system maybe due having these diseases?

Me too.
I entered public school in the 2nd grade. Came down with all of them that year. Missed so much school I had to take the grade again
Think I felt worse with the measles. Ran a fever so high I had hallucinations. Common practice was to keep the light in the patient's room very low.
