I don't think you're being paranoid at all, it is a nasty disease and more serious than I think most people realise, I used to think it was along the lines of chicken pox etc but it is so much worse. Both my children had the mmr, unfortunately though both time I had to take them for it were the 2 times there was loads in the news about the mmr jab and I was in tears while they had it thinking what I could be doing to them BUT I know that the diseases are worse than the possible side affects so I'm glad I did it :grin:
