Yes, I did. The glands under my jaw were swollen and hurt a lot. That's all I remember. I was very young.
I should add, that overall, the disease wasn't any worse than having strep throat where the amount of pain is involved or how sick you feel. I think the reason they made a vaccine for it is because if a grown man gets mumps, it effects the testicles, and can cause sterility.

Yes, when I was around 5. It spreaded in the classroom and many of us caught it. It was on my ear and for a day or two it hurt a lot, but I don't remember how much.
