Lord, you've mentioned me about 5 times since I was last here. And you say you haven't missed me
Yup, my son had the vaccine at 12 months and got the pox exactly two years later. I agree about the booster, but now he will not be needing one. Exacty why I'm waiting until he's three. Contracting it naturally gives you a better natural defense against getting it in the future, when its much harder on your system. But, if he's 3 and still hasn't gotten it, I'll immunize And no, I don't think vaxes cause autism - incidentally its the MMR that is often blamed for that, not varicella |

I've had an outbreak of them - massive pain and itching and it was on the left side of my face and neck and in my mouth - I looked like I had an incredible
case of acne
I actually thought I had a tootchache 'cause it started in my mouth with the pains, so I went to a dentist who sent me on to a doctor. I live in fear of another reoccurance 'cuase I understand it's a herpes virus and will erupt again from time to time. Other than the medications, the only thing that helped was laying a hand across the afflicted area - it kinda kept all the little nerve endings from firing And it's totally unfair that I could possibly get this again and again and again |

what about soaking in cold water? Would that make it worse or better?

Someone told me about the brain-scratcher while I was eating yesterday.
 Eating Papa Johns, too.

Seals take dips in cold water to help relieve the itchiness of their skin falling off.
dhc make sure you have an actual kid before you start sticking needles in it. You might just have a cat that likes to lick your nipples. |

You can't stand any change in temperature. I tried laying still with no clothes on and no shit, the air from the fan made it hurt.

well cold hand did feel better than hot hand, so I'd think the cold water would feel good at least.
and if I could go back in time and prevent me catching chickenpox through a vaccine so I wouldn't have had a shingles outbreak, I would. you don't catch shingles, it's the same virus as chicken pox, and like herpes it stays dormant in your body until it manifests itself again and in some people: again and again and again |

Don't hit me again please TRho.
My girl had the chicken pox vaccine when she was 2 and just had a booster shot (at her doctor's recommendation) at 17. Neither one of us has had chicken pox. (knocks on head where TRho hasn't thumped it). Maybe it has something to do with our weird blood type. |

How, did she get a chicken pox vaccine at age two if she is currently 17, when the damn vaccine didn't become available to the public until 95? Did she go
to Gina's doctor?
And you've probably had the chicken pox, and didn't break out or broke out mildly and your mother doesn't remember it. |

You feel like you're being burned at the stake every waking minute, don't you?
A friend of mine had a really severe case of them 5 years ago. His wife had to give him injections every 4 hours for the pain but it never got rid of it totally. I suggested for her to use some OTC cream that contains capsaicin in it like Zostrx (but only on lesions that weren't open...use some Calamine on that). She doubled checked with her doctor and a pharmacist and they both confirmed what I suggested. This sounds crazy, but capsaicin is the same stuff in cayenne peppers that makes them hot. Apparently it stimulates and exhausts Substance P, a neurotransmitter that sends pain messages to your brain. It helps to cancel it out. She said it wound up helping him tremendously and that it made the suffering bearable. I don't know where you are in the course of it, but it should only be used once you're not breaking out anymore. And remove all sharp objects and guns from your room. You'll be tempted to use them. |

I read about capsaicin, but I don't know if I'm done breaking out. I've also read about a new topical called Neurogen, which helps for nerve pain.
Don't know what's in it, but I'll try anything at this point.

I'm a lousy typist. The "5" is just above my "2" and I missfired.
Are you going to pound me again? |

PS - I asked my mother when A**** got the vaccine if she was sure I hadn't had chicken pox. She said neither me, nor my brother who was 2 1/2 years younger
had them. The brother who is 12 years younger did get them though. Inferior genes.
I'd check with her again but she was cremated three years ago. |
