Fucking Chickenpox
 

Well looks like I am stuck with two sick kids for the next week or two. One of my little girls stomach is crying out for someone to play connect the dots on it. I keep itching myself and get scared shitless at every bump I see. They are loving it though dad is waiting on them hand and feet while they watch TV and do the Nintendo thing. Doctor said even though I had it as a kid I can very easily get it again. sigh

Odds are you won't get the pox Choker. Shingles would be what you'd end up with. Watch your chest and mid back. Close to your spine in the back and sternum in the front.

They show up on one or both sides of those areas, small red patrch of bumps to start out. They don't get spread all over but they certainly make you weak and sleepy. It looks more like a rash. I've heard they might pop out around the yoke of your neck but never knew anyone that had them that way.

I had the Shingles all over my rib area on my right side :(

They say one cause is aggravation and happens when you're older. I heard Shingles is painful, but mine wasn't so bad. Just uncomfy, I was about 30

Shingles, commonly known as the herpes zoster virus is a late manifestation of the chicken pox virus known as varicella zoster. Within a few days the blisters rupture forming scabs. Shingles is associated with severe pain, itching, redness, numbness, and the development of a rash. :(

Treatment can include pain medication, even narcotics, to ease the discomfort. Antiviral medicine can be prescribed to people who see a doctor in the first 72 hours of an outbreak. And studies are underway to develop a shingles vaccine to prevent the disease all together. It works like the chicken pox vaccine now used in children


After the little ones feel better, time for a vacation Choker :thumbsup

Hope you and your daughters feel better

have fun man

Ah fuck, I forgot all about the shingles thing. Shit

I didn't have chicken herpes (South Park :1orglaugh ) until I was 13 2 weeks before Christmas. It was the WORST feeling in the world. It started with one on my chest, then they started popping up like crazy. Ugh :disgust Better to get them while you're little I guess.
