Chicken pox sucks! My experience with this illness started the week before Christmas 2009. I awoke one Wednesday morning (the day my son was due to have his Christmas dinner at school) and my son told me he had a apot on his head. At 4.5 I thought it a little early to start getting spots but assumed it must be abite of somesort and carried on ...  Read the complete review

Littlest HonestBob has chickenpox. Ten days ago we thought he was teething, eight days ago we though he had ear ache due to the amount of ear pulling he was doing and six days ago he came down with what we thought was a nasty cold, lots of snot and a night time cough. Four days ago he came up in 5 spots (could be bites, i ...  Read the complete review

I will never forget the itching and the great discomfort. I would lie in my bed feeling sorry for myself moaning to whoever would listen that, 'I have never been in so much pain in my life'. Of course, a further 12 years of living has changed that but at the time chicken pox was the most unpleasant illness I had ever had. MY ...  Read the complete review

When I was 5 I was beginning to come down with chicken pox. I think this got triggered from being in contact with a baby of one of my mum's friend's on an occasion, as it had happened just the day after. I remember feeling itchy and hot, and like some kind of horror movie there were small risings in my skin. Yep, I had the pox, my ...  Read the complete review

Having read the other ops on this subject I hesitated as to whether I should add my 2 pennyworth but I have a couple of different points which just may be of some help to you. We tend to dismiss this as a ‘childhood’ illness as if that means it is not very serious. Wrong! It can be very serious and give rise to complications ...  Read the complete review

Cast your minds back to 1986. More specifically, July that year. It was the year and month that Fergie married Prince Andrew. It was a hot Summer. I was sixteen at the time, my Mum was forty. That was the time we both got chickenpox. Most people tend to get chickenpox as a child and, believe me, it is much better if you catch this while ...  Read the complete review

I have had chicken pox twice in my childhood - both must have been quite mild attacks as I do not remember much about them only that I was always being told not to scratch!! I have four children and they have all had it, but thankfully not at the same time. The oldest two caught it when I was pregnant with the next two (twins) I enquired ...  Read the complete review

Chicken pox is a nasty thing. It is caused by the varicella-zoster virus that can also cause Shingles. Everyone knows chicken pox as its obvious symptoms are legendary - horrible spots and itching! The first symptoms are normally a fever followed by those nasty itchy papules and vesicles. What is the best way to deal with these symptoms and ...  Read the complete review

Did you see that 'icky' picture on the front page of this category? It WAS 'icky' wasn't it? However horrid that picture is though, my son Kieran looked worse when he had chicken pox. Believe me, he did - much, much, MUCH worse. He was the ultimate in poor little things. You would have said 'awwww' and probably ...  Read the complete review

Chicken Pox has to be the worst disease! Well, maybe not the worst but certainly not a very pleasant ordeal for anyone wishing to lead a normal childhood! I had chicken pox, like many of you all, back in my infancy at the tender age of just 6. Unfortunately I didn't have much luck with getting rid of Chicken pox, and of ...  Read the complete review

Isn't this a great category? Sorry, just had to get that out of my system before I begin. I feel very able to discuss 'My experience of chickenpox' because I have had it twice.. yes.. twice. It is NOT true that you can only suffer from chickenpox once, or that you get shingles if you catch the virus again, although, to be fair, it was ...  Read the complete review
