Well I'm almost 19 and I got the chicken pox...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Pictures? :popcorn:
 
I had chicken pox like 2 years ago and it sucked, it ruined my summer vacation and i still have some scars. Lots of calamine lotion, no itching, showers, oatmeal baths etc. I also have gotten poison ivy 2 times in 2009, the second case was so terrible and miserable. I was on several hundred dollar meds because they said if it got much worse it could cover my lungs and i wouldn't be able to breath.
 
I got it too @ the age of 18, trippin out big time like i was gonna die, went to the doctor and he was like "Chill out its only the chicken pox!!!" Yeah, his next patient must of got "Relax its only Aids!"
 
aveno makes some great body washes for the shower ( i use ir for mu eczema it works very well when i have an outbreak of dry/itchy skin)..look into picking some of that up I think they have one for itchy skin if im not mistaken...use a cloth to put it on though not a loofa...and then cover yourself in calamine lotion.
 
my friend got chicken poxs in england he was in his twentys, they really messed up his body especially his face, this guy could of gone trick or treating without makeup, he was well messed up
 
hope you get well soon :) from what ive heard the symptoms are worse as you get older so best to see your gp
 
I had it as a kid, but I had it over the winter holidays, so christmas was the suck.
yes, you can get body-wash oatmeal formulas, it usually helps the itch, but do see a doctor.
 
Thanks guys, hopefully I don't turn into a horrible monster. I've been trying my hardest not to itch (especially my face), and whats worse is I'm a scab picker! So I've been trying to be extra good :] I just sent my boyfriend to the store to get lots of oatmeal so I can fill up my empty 55g and take a good soak :]
