Hiiii MT's.... *sighs* I have chicken pox (OMG, it sounds really bad in
English... "varicela" in Spanish sounds better ).
Thanx to my dear nii-chan for contaminating me! Mum says I'm a strange case coz of having
this illness at 16...
Bad goodies:
I must stay at home for 2 weeks, all my poor body itches, my throat, eyes and
lips hurt and with that damn mentholated talcum powder makes me feel like being
chewing a non-sugar gum all the time .
Delicious goodies:
No school!!!!! But only 1 week, then winter holidays start... (remember that I live
in Argentina, South Hemisphere, here winter is from 21st June to 20th
September.) Also I have to drink 7up (luv it!!! ) instead
of those $0,60-lemonades, coz of occasional fever (here's a tip: 7up is good for
fever!). Then... let me see... internet at home? Yeah! Didn't I say this before?
I used to have no Internet at home, but mum thought I'd be bored and now I have
it
Thanx mum!!!!
Meaw... (like one of my wallies) I'm still too bored. Thankfully I have my PC,
telephone (not mobile, I HATE
them!!!!! ), PS One, TV and some mangas and magazines... this will be pure
leisure
Tell me if you had/have chicken pox! I want to hear your stories! (And if you
can, also any special trick to stop this damn itch!!!!)
Ugh, I had chicken pox some 10+ years ago one summer. At least I didn't have to
worry about school because it was vacation time. I felt terrible all over when I
had the disease. I don't think you can do anything in terms of applying medicine
because that could make it worse. It's better for the disease to go away
naturally.
really? I've never had the chicken pox, tho I'm not suppose to ever get it
either because when my mom was pregnant with me she had the shingles(sp?) and
I've also had the shot but I've had friends who've had the shot but still got
it.
I had chicken pox ages ago...I think I was only 8 years old. It itched a lot,
mainly on my back, and my mom put this pink lotion stuff on me all the time, I
think it was called Calamine lotion. And I had to miss a week of school, which
sucked. But I've heard it's better to get it when you're younger, so I'm glad I
did. I hope you feel better soon though. ^_^
Wow chicken pox, poor you o.o Yea, it's a lot tougher on you when you're older,
I got mine when i was around 6 or 5 ^^; Don't remember much about it, I didn't
need a lot to stop myself from itching... but yay for 7up Hope you
get better soon, it may be tough sometimes but only lasts a while ^-^;
Poor sweet Aoko-chan! **big hug* Chicken pox? Sounds horrid.
Sixteen sounds like a late age to have it, remember not to pop them; scars are
not a good look.
To help recovery... don't go out into the wind and stick to the "pure"
and "cool" foods; that is... no mangos, red tea ( *nods** green tea is
fine though =3) mandarins are a no no, dates are bad to eat too at this stage.
^__^
Plenty of rest and I hope you'll get well soon sweetee.
I got the chicken pox when i was about 8, it wasn't too bad juss got to sit and
watch tv and read archie comics the whole time so that was fun, i can't remember
itching lots tho??
If ur looking to stop the itching u could try Calimine lotion, its a brownish
pinkish color and it might sooth the itching
awwwweee poor aoko-chan..you have the chicken pox at 16? wow...i got mine when i
was 5 or 6..>.<;; well.. all i remember that i stayed home from
kingdergarden and it was ichy, very very ichy!XD hehehe...well its good when you
get it over with!=D
but if you get it at an older age like 30 or 45, you just might die from it..=[
at least thats what i heard from ppl!=]
hope you get well soon aoko-chan!=D
Yeah I had chicken pox when I was really young too. Like grade one. I heard its
better when you're younger. My friend got it recently and he's like... 20 +
something odd lol can't be bothered thinking of his age. But his was pretty
bad.
Any way the only things to say are... Hope you get better soon!
and
Don't scratch! You'll leave scars =x
Had chicken pox when I was younger and it was itchy and no real cure for the
itchy part unless you have some medicated cream for it.
I ended up giving it to my sisters too.....I don't believe they have ever truly
forgiven me for that.
Best of luck to you and hope you get over this quickly!! ^_^
Owch, thats sad! I got the chicken pox earlier this year as well, at the
horrible to have it age of 17(not even a month away from 18). It was horrible
and now I have some scars that aren't fading really well. It looks like acne
scars although they aren't and I've never had any, my beautiful unflawed skin
looks kinda bad now. Not too bad, the scars came from me rubbing them off in my
sleep, not scrathing.
*Edit* Just read the post above me, it's very very rare but you can get it
twice. I did a paper on this for my writing class right after I got it. Also,
watch out for the shingles, you can now get them. They are usually caused by
stress and look like a hybrid of pimples and chickenpox.
Oh man, that sux!!! I still remember having Chicken Pox (I have no idea why
they call it that) in the fourth grade (age:10-11) on Valentine's Day week. I
still have a couple of scars from where I scratched nonstop on my shoulder.
That week was awful!!! But the good news is you only get it once, at least
that's what I've heard. That was nice of your mum to set you up with internet!
I didn't know that 7up was good for a fever, but my mom always gave it to me
whaen I was sick too. I hope you get feeling better soon!!

YUp, don't even try scratching it, I know its ichy but it will cause you scars
like what happened to me. Its been ten years yet I still have those scars.
Yup, I had mine when I was little and as others have already said, it's much
worse when you're older. It's so bad that some die when they got chickenpox as
an adult.
i'm 22 and i've never had chicken pox.. my brother had it when he was 8 and i
always play with him or share the same bed with him when he had it. But i never
had chicken pox..

omg, i remember having the chicken pox and you won't believe it. i had it when i
was 13 and i had final exams!!!!!!!! and i HAD to do them all. it was everyday
and i was really suffering. i first had a fever at about 40 Celcius :P but i did
my exams (which was really hard studying because of all the iches and stuff!)
but i got a good grade i took
88.7/100...but i could have easily got more than 91 if it wasn't for this stupid
history which lowered my grade a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oops, i
talked a lot, bye and hope you will feel fine soon

my brother got the chicken pox by licking one of my popped pustules.
think of it this way: it's better to get them while you're younger. it hurts more when you're older.

Better now than later
Some even have it at 20-30 or even older, which is worse.
You're lucky

Meaw... thanx all you people... I'll try the Calamine thingie. Although now the only thing that itches is my back (which always itches...)

Sorry to hear you have chicken pox. Don't think I ever had it but I had friends that did...
Hope you start feeling better soon!
oww. sorry Chicken pox r worse the older you are apparently. just try not to get anywhere hot that will make the itching crazy.
Actually, the technical term for chicken pox in English if Varicella, with 2 L's. And I like the real medical terminology better as well.
Look on the bright side, you can only get it once.
