You need to phone your rheumy nurse first thing in the morning, particularly if you are on steroids, Mtx or other DMARDs or anti-tnf as you're vulnerable to this virus. Your monitoring book should have this info in it.

Totally agree with Cece -It can be dangerous so give the hospital at ring ASAP you may need anti -virals.
Hope your grand daughters OK

I agree with the above advice also xx
yeah I agree with everyone. I had to have my blood checked for anti bodies when I came into contact with it.
Get it checked. xx
Sorry to add to this, what happens if you do catch it? does an anti-viral stop it developing? I ask as with young children it's only a matter of time...
thanks
