Chicken Pox!
« on: June 11, 2011, 09:46:42 AM »
Yep, I came down with the chicken pox. I never had them before, and never had the vaccine. Absolutely miserable and excrutiating pain. If you never had them before nor the vaccine, get the vaccine! If you have children over 12 that never had either the shots for them or chicken pox themselves, give them the vaccine. I am 25 and always heard they were bad in adults but figured I could handle them if I ever got them. My advice, don't risk it...get the vaccine...at least you have a chance.

they suck!  i had them twice.  fist time when i was young and when i was 21.  they are worse when you are older.it's a combination of the flue and the worse sunburn you ever had oh ya and poison ivy.  go to the Dr.  they have pills for it.  they are the same as for Herpies.  so you might get some looks at the pharmacy.  hope you feel better.
