Do they itch? I hear they itch. I once knew someone who had them and he couldn't stop himself from scratching and scratching. He knew it was bad to scratch the itchiness, but he said it felt soo good to scratch them when they itched him.
Are they itching now?

thanks alisa!
itchiness: not so much. but my hands and forearms do look like cranberry muffins, with red spots and shit. worse is the mouth, apparently you're supposed to be getting sores in your mouth from the bacteria. as luck would have it i had just been to the dentist to get a tooth pulled (so i have an open wound in my mouth), so you can imagine what that feels like. between saturday and this morning i ate absolutely nothing, and even drinking water hurts like hell.
right now i'm eating tim horton's chicken soup though, and that's not too bad. i think i should be fine in a few days. and i didn't get any spots on my face, but one girl asked me whether i had disguised myself as a vampire last week because my eyes are deep red... but that's getting better as well.

Oh man that sucks. I caught it when I was in 8th grade after my sister (who was a baby at the time) caught it.
It is.
As a person who never caught it as a child I can say that I'm just counting down the days until I finally catch it. :nanner:
So I have recently been told about the "chicken pox parties" that some parents do:
When someone's kid gets the chicken pox, all his/her friends come over and spend the day and night together. That way, all the kids have it at a fairly young age, have it all at the same time, and then they're done with it.
Is that bullshit, or brilliant?
And, as said above, be glad it isn't shingles. That shit is wicked.

O.G.
It's an illness BB, not a rock-hard penis. :nono:

As a child they simply itch, as an adult they are hopefully lethal.

:dunno:
I knew an adult who got chickenpox and he was in and out of the hospital, very sick, and lost a lot of weight from being sick.
Hope you have a speedy recovery and don't go through a lot. :hatsoff:
But better than Hep C right?

I've heard of those "parties", but in my fair state children have to get the chicken pox vaccine. Unless you choose not to have your children immunized, which gets you all kinds of stares and lectures.
I had chicken pox twice as a kid. First time wasn't that bad, second time was much worse.
Hate to hear that you're going through this, Namreg. Hopefully you have a quick recovery.
that sucks, they're not much fun, i got 'em the first week of my senior year in high school which was pretty retarded...
