It's strange how one thing can become such a massive focus in ones life. Mumps is this strangeness for me at this point in my life.Let me tell you why I am blogging about mumps again: There is no medication. There is no cure. There is nothing that can help me. All that I can do is take dulling painkillers.Mumps is known to have made men sterile. This is rare but it does happen. I am even more baffled, concerned and downfounded by this news. How is it that an illness that can make me sterile has no cure? I was told by my doctor that if I begin to feel pain in my testicles there is really nothing that can be done but this is "rare" and we should pray that this doesn't happen.Well gee flipping thanks doc. Welcome to the 21st century!
