CHICKEN POX

I've got them right now, and I'm 25. It sucks. Started Friday with the fever, found the rash Saturday afternoon. Tuesday was the most miserable day of my life. It sucks. The urge to rub my whole body to a ragged bloody pulp is overwhelming at times. I have these damn things everywhere! my chest and back, I don't like to look at cuz it grosses me out the sheer number of these things. I've got them inside my ear, on my earlobes, all over my scalp, on my sac and penis, on my butt, on my hands and fingers, pretty much any open skin, and there's a pox really close by.

When I lay down, I can feel each individual one on my back kind of pressured, like a ballon being squeezed. They feel like they're all gonna pop.

Isla - take good care of him, slather him in calamine lotion, give him a little extra TLC cuz it is a miserable experience. Hang in there though

I had chicken pox as a kid, barely remember what age or what it was like.

I'm sure it was VERY unpleasant but it was like 20 or so years ago.

How do you people remember your childhood, I can barely remember last week!

My wife can remember stuff from her crib.

I'm pretty foggy on everything past 3 months ago, and I mean everything.
 
i got all itchy from this thread.

anyways i got it when i was in third grade. got to take a week off! woohoo!

my sister had it first and then spread it among the rest of us. my poor mom - four kids with the pox at the same time. at least it was over with when we were all young. my sister was like... 3? my youngest brother was 2. talk about ouch factor. luckily most of the scars are gone now. 🙂

(hehe I 0wN the t@pw n0w... hehe.. no one else will be seeing me in action for quite a while 😉 )
Well unless my g/f asks "is it always that big?"
