Do I have measles?

Hey everyone thanks for checking out my post. I think I might have measles, and I'm worried if I do, still deciding if I should go to school. I'll list some of the stuff I've noticed, tell me what ya think.

-14 male
-3 days ago I started feeling really hot in the afternoon
-3 days ago I also started feeling SUPER light headed and that continued for about 2 days
-my ankles hurt somewhat 3 days ago and continued for about a day
-3 days ago, which continued for 2 days, my eyes really hurt if I wasn't looking directly straight

That's about all I can remember. What do you guys think?

Thanks a lot for your responses, hope to hear soon.

-I just got out of the shower about an hour ago and red spots appeared all over my body, and have slowly started fading but still there

Do NOT go to school tomorrow, Measles is highly contagious. Talk to your parents. Did you have vaccinations-I hope? You could also have chicken pox--or you could simply be anxious about something and it's manifesting in a physical manner. But talk to your parents and if you really feel ill go to the doctor.
These are the symptoms of measles, btw.


The symptoms of measles usually begin to develop about 7-11 days after the person first becomes infected. The first symptoms are normally similar to those of a bad cold: fever, runny nose, sore throat and a cough. A few days later a bright red, blotchy rash breaks out on the forehead, face and neck. Within a few days the rash spreads to the body, arms and legs, by which time the rash will begin to fade from the face. When the rash breaks out, you may also develop conjunctivitis.

Very doubtful if you have measles because you were vaccinated against measles, mumps, and rubella as a infant. I would suggest you see your family doctor.
