Chicken Pox.. As An Adult?!?

[HoZy]

Hey all, I've just turned 19 & for my 19th b'day i scored chicken pox somehow.. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT HAPPENED!

I understand how they say adult chicken pox is worse...

This is killing me!!!!!!!!!!!

[Astranomical]

Yep, you certainly can get it as an adult, even if you had it as a kid. That "you can't get it again" is a myth.

Hope you recover soon man...i had chickenpox when i was 15...it was evil

[minux]

I am yet to have chicken pox, thats why you have the vaccine each 4 or 5 years to keep protected!!!

Enjoy your herpes I heard it sucks as an adult.

Cheers

EDIT:

JUST FOUND SOMETHING I HATE ABOUT IT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW! I CAN'T SHAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im going to look like a bear by the time this is over!

[Astranomical]

Yep, they're as itchy as all damn hell...but if you scratch 'em it only makes it worse

I remember when i had it in school...my then-girlfriend got it a few weeks later, and there was this huge inquiry into it because some psycho bitch was crapping on about how i gave it to her or some bull**** like that...man i miss high school....NOT!!

Hozy, go buy a SHIRTLOAD of calamine lotion, it helps relieve the itching. It stinks, but i head its perfect for the pox. Cartman liked it in one SP episode

[minux]

Oh and you should see a Dr as you can also get medication to help disperse the pox!!

lucky your still a child then

[AttaBoy]

I had when i was 7. Don't scratch because when you break the lump they will leave a mark when you get better and the mark will stay there for a long time.

Fozy, my wife got chicken pox first time when she was about 23 or 34. She hadn't been exposed to it because she was hiding out in Mexico. But some little grommit kid in Australia in the resturaunt must have given it to her. Anyways :P DON'T SCRATCH THE LUMPS, she scratched about 3 of the 10,000 and those 3 made a scar the other 9,997 healed just fine. She went to the Dr before the lumps arrived because she felt sore all over and he told her she had arthritis and gave her all these drugs which she hadn't taken when she woke up the next day full of lumps . But yeah it's heaps more nasty as an adult shes ended up looking like a dead zombie with her flesh falling off and took two weeks off work. But like I said don't scratch them and you wont get many scars but make sure you take some healing drugzzzz like vitamin E and zinc and such just to be sure

[Stan003]

sorry to hear about this mate... i know how u feel. i've had it twice in my life and its not good wen ur older

[Emackulation]

Eeep, I am also yet to catch the chickens pocks. My GF's mother had gotten shingles (advanced form of the pox) and I (living in the same house) didnt catch them, or the pox. I hope I never get them, they sound the dumps.

Good advice from the gang.... "DONT SCRATCH OR BREAK ANY BLISTERS!"
I got chicken pox when i was about 24...i still have scars on my arms etc where a few of them popped. That was nearly 13 years ago!

Debbie: I gotta go, Sadie might have the chicken pox.
Jason: I had the chicken pox THREE times. I have no immunity to it.
Ben Stone: We don't have the heart to tell him it's herpes.
Jason: It's not herpes if it's everywhere.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Hozy you can benefit on this like in the Simpsons, where Homer charges people money for Maggie to infect the other kids with chickenpox.....

Easy money mate

Seriously, go the Calamine Lotion, it works a treat.

go get a shot...highly recommended.

[Stupa]

So if you have little or no imunity to it, you get the shot and bang, you've got the pox.

[Wagon_Wheel]

Damn man, that sucks....
Im scared now, i havnt had them either.... god bday presant though lol
Heal up man

[Julie]

I had them when I was 17 not a nice experience, mine wasn't an overly bad case because I know a girl who had it just b4 me and she was in hospital with it after they went internal if u get what I mean lol. Calamine lotion is your friend, and like the others said try not to scratch, get some vitamin e capsules and apply the contents to the sores once the scabs have fallen off, this will help prevent scars.

Thats a good point, i didnt catch it from my brother or sister, nor friends etc, hence why i figured i could get the shot.
