I have the pox.
Hey all. I've got the chicken pox.
Hard to fricking believe. I had a very mild case when I was a little kid, and then two days ago, I broke out in what I thought were hives, but the crap just kept going. Went to the doc, and they gave me the news. I have the chicken pox. What bothers me the most about this, is that I haven't come in contact with anyone in the last two weeks, other than my wife. Not sure what to make of this.

Re: I have the pox.
Apparently, they are as dumfounded as I am. They're also looking into a possible gluten allergy.

Re: I have the pox.
Pox can be got from the air. It's rare that some one gets it twice, but it happens.
If bored, maybe check out wiki on it.

Re: I have the pox.
I hope it passes soon. I never had chicken pox as a child, but got it as an adult, German measles too. Chicken pox is not fun. If the itching becomes unbearable, try calamine lotion or ask your doctor for a mild hydrocortisone cream or lotion. Anti-histamine pills can also help ease the itchiness. Try to avoid getting too hot, and take tepid baths and showers - heat can make the itching worse. Also, try your damnedest to resist the urge to scratch - you could end up with iinfections or scarring, if you do.
Here are a couple of links that might help: http://www.medicinenet.com/chickenpo...ella/page2.htm http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/diseases/...chickenpox.htm

Re: I have the pox.
Jesus... isn't the pox dangerous in adults? Or are you semi-immune due to having had a mild bout before?
