mine were nowhere as bad as yours!! I really only broke out on my scalp, a few on my arms and legs, none on the face. The ones in my scalp were the ones i allowed myself to scratch since no one would ever see those scars!
Owen, bless your heart...this too shall pass...call me when you are well and we'll go get some coffee...

Take pyridostigmine bromide pills, mix with several vaccinations received at the same time -- including anthrax -- many of which contained mercury as a preservative, blend with inaccurate shot records, add a lack of rest, sprinkled with a dash of stressful conditions and you have the recipe for a "significant association" between subsequent declines in subjective health experiences and Gulf War veterans.
I will accept your real hug, once you are healed completely. But for know, I will accept only your digital hug...:)
Don't forget to drink lots of water and juices, stay away from fattening food.
For three weeks, when I was in the hospital, all I ate was soft pasta and baby food, since the chicken pox spread to my mouth and lungs and it hurt like crazy.
They had to feed me, the first week intravenously, I had a high fever of 105, including bronchitis and slight ammonia complications. They did kept me in the hospital a little longer than required.
The problems with chicken pox is supposedly a children illness, but those that never had them, once they are subject to chicken pox, it gets worst, when you are older.
Do you know that small pox is deadly version of chicken pox. Chicken pox is the good version. Your generation in part is not vaccinated to any small pox vaccine and other modern day deceases.
Don't worry I'm praying for you to heal faster, I know how are you feeling.
Don't worry about the tiny bubbles, they will dry out, dont op them or scratch them.
You want to hear MY story of malaria and dengue fever?
Do you want to hear the story about amthrax pills during the gulf war and today's Army?
dammed, I started to feel like a rat lab.......LOL
Sorry to hear you've had the chickenpox, it's rotten to have as an adult. Make sure you look after yourself. I got it aged 40 (last thing you need when you hit 40) and felt as though I looked like I'd got the plague! The scars WILL fade; I thought mine never would at the time but have to look hard for them now. Most important thing is not to mess with them. Best wishes.

darude..what can i say.. i am expecting something like this from you..you wolfie... you could be of help if you would send some camel milk for me..:) can you do that?
[img_assist|nid=12867|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
Don't scratch them, let them heal and dry naturally. oTHER WISE THEY WILL MARK YOU FOR EVER. Use Cortisone with aloe vera to kill the itch and promote the healing faster. keep taking your medications completely. Take the advise, from a person who had some real bad chicken pox at the age of 35. I'm still carrying the marks from scratching them.
if you can get ano nighttime antihistamines that should help with the itching also..Valtrex is an antiviral med...and although the chickenpox is viral, it won't really help with the itching.
You will also be contagious until the very LAST pox has dried up and fallen off...so take your time and get well!!!
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
don't worry..im even afraid to show myself to anyone right now.. :( (i am afraid of myself also right now..lol)..i am in seclusion for at least 2 wks....
i asked several friends to look for some medicines to at least ease out the itchiness and make this situation bearable (impossible)... they bought this expensive caplet- valtrex (God bless dear friends)...been taking this...at least i am not worried that much with the itchiness part..the fever coming and going is also irritating..eeewww...
[img_assist|nid=12867|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
do to help you until you heal up? If you are still itchy..try pulverizing dry oatmeal and putting it in a tub of lukewarm water and sitting until you can't stand the cold anymore...helps you from wanting to scratch yourself to death.
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
the same virus that causes chicken pox can give older people a serious neurological disease called Shingles..its extremely painful and has a long time to heal.
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
I feel for you honey...had the chicken pox when I was 25 years old and 3 months pregnant with my first child. (remind me to thank my mom again for keeping me "safe" from all those other kids with the pox, when I was little!!)
Do what QS said...and I was going to say Vitamin E capsules work wonders for scars. Just get the capsules from GNC, puncture one end of the capsule and apply..rub it in throughly...keep OUT of the sun for at least 6 months (or use really strong sunscreen)tho as new skin, such as scars, will tan differently than other skin...
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
owen.. you made me laugh and cry at the same time..Chicken pox??.. isn't it a kids' illness, particularly those under age 12?
poor thing.. i am really sorry to hear it.. :(
here are some advices:
Get Rid of Chickenpox Scars
Step1
Talk to a dermatologist. Have your skin and scars evaluated by a professional before you try any products or home remedies. A dermatologist will have many different options for you to consider.
Step2
Apply sandalwood oil and Vitamin-E onto your skin. If you scars are not as deep or old, you can rub some sandalwood oil Vitamin-E based products onto your scars. Do this consistently for a few months until the scars have healed.
Step3
Try laser treatment. If the scars are old or very deep, creams and lotions will most likely not work. You might have to consider removing these types of scars with an intense laser treatment at your dermatologist's office.
Step4
Consider excision by your dermatologist or doctor. Excision is the removal of scars by cutting them off and stitching the skin closed. This option is especially suitable for deep scarring. You will still have some scarring, but it will be much less noticeable than the chickenpox scars.
Step5
Get a Microdermabrasion treatment. Microdermabrasion is a deep facial peel that removes a very fine layer of skin. This process will remove scars from on the surface of your skin. Get this process done at a clinic or certified spa for best results.
Good luck sweetie.. :)
