Have you experienced to have a chickenpox before?

My mother told me that I did not have chichenpox in my young age .My mother asked me to infect the immuse of chicken pox ,but I did not follow her .My two younger sister had chickenpox in young but me .My mother always said that my face skin is not as good as my younger sisters' because of my not getting the chikenpox .I don't care that ,but I can stand the itching because I had a scaring experience about itching .Everytime I recalled it ,I felt chilly in my body .Everyone has a sound body ,mylottings!

I had chicken pox when I was 7 my kids got the chicken pox shot and have not gotten them they are 12 and 13 now and they just had the second dose of chicken pox shot and are still doing good.

yaa I had it in my childhood. I was very young them. It was very severe for me. I was bed ridden. Also it lasted for 1 month.

I have a chickenpox last year. When I get that sickness, I can do anything just staying and lying on my bed. My body getting worse and worst with the much swollen. It's not hurt but you will feel weird with it. There are so many prohibition when I get the sickness like 1. can't go out at night, because it will make me often get headache. 2. Can't eat seasonal fruits, mean like durian, pineapple. It will make your skin become scaly. 3. Can't eat chicken or fish and especially soy sauce. it will give a black spot at the swollen of the chickenpop. Today in my country has given the immunization to the children. So when the children get this sickness, the sickness won't make much swollen at the body. To prevent this, it only stay clear of the people who get this sickness. Keep post Happy myLotting...

Hi annierose,I have experienced having a chichenpox,but i have forgotten when,maybe when i was about ten.Memory is not very clear now,but,it wasn't painful.I didn't know how I had it,I just remembered that I couldn't go to school for a few days,and could only stay at home and stay in bed.It was a summer,but i was covered very thick quilt,it was very hot.And,I couldn't eat anything cool.I remembered that my little brother always ate icecream,but i could only watch him,i was so greedy then.LOL.....But,i was surprised that my body was normal and i didn't feel any pain then.Later,i got well and began my normal life again,LOL....So i think it is not necessary to worry about that.Wish you health and happiness.

IT is easier for kids to get chicken pox than adults. in adults it's known as shingles and is alot more painful than regular pox. But it all depends on how old you are? and are you sure that you didn't get them as a kid? Reason I ask is I had a very mild case when i young i had 8 on my entire body while my cousins were covered from head to toe. Your best bet would be to ask your family dr.

Yeah it was a awfull experience . I had to quit my semeser classes n i coudn't go out any where . I had lice on my hair as was not able to take bath .

When you have that sickness.You get all boils filled with water on your body.It doesn't break easily.Also the boils are very itchy and you will feel like scratching over it.You can prevent it by always taking a bath with an antibiotic soap it will keep the germs free.Its better not to go near a chicken pox person.It is an infectious disease and anyone can get it.I had a friend who got two times chicken pox in a row.Its a heat related disease.You can keep your body cool by drinking coconut water and taking curds with your food.

No one have will exempted for not having a chickenpox even you already had a vaccine. Chickenpox vaccine cannot help you not to have a chickenpox but vaccine can only minimize the chickenpox in your body since your immune system knows that bacteria already. I been have a chickenpox before when i was 16 years old and its so really awful to have that kind of bacteria in my body. I got a chickenpox all over my body no exemption even in my private part it was takes a weeks and couple of weeks to gone all. I have a very bad experience on that and i wish i wouldn't have that again.

yea i got it when i was like 5. before i started primary school. which was good because i was on MC for about 1 month. at that time, my dad caught chicken pox from me. mum was joking at how my grandma managed to keep him so clean. but anyhow, the chicken pox was painful for him. Weird dont' you think. They say that for kids to contract chicken pox, it'll be itchy. But for older people to get it, it screams PAIN!

You aren't going to like this comment. I really wouldn't worry about it. You'll either get it, or you won't. You can ask a doctor about getting an inoculation, but after that I'd just stop thinking about it. Worrying won't change whether you get it or not, but it can make you more susceptible to disease. It breaks down your immune system. I've never had chicken pox, or measles. I didn't get inoculations either. (Mostly cause as a kid, I was terrified of needles. When they were giving shots, I headed for the door. I was pretty fast, so I missed most of those shots. Managed to outrun doctors too, heh.) My entire family was covered with measles, and I lived and ate with them. Not a spot. You and I might have a natural immunity. If you do get spots, it might just be from nerves. The worry, you know. Put calamine lotion on them. It eases the itching!

I think you are either going to get it or not. I didn't catch chickenpox until I was 37, but I had been around people who had it lots of times before. It started with a bad headache, and I felt really tired, then the spots started coming up. The main thing is to not itch them, which is really difficult because they are incredibly itchy. Somebody said if you catch it as an adult that it is called shingles, but you can only get shingles if you have previously had chickenpox.

I have had it twice and my dad has had it three times, so do not belive that you can only get it once. And for me it was misrable. my sugestion is to get the vacine, and avoid people that have it if at all posible.

usually chicken pox during our childhood..even i got chickenpox when i was 6yrs old at that time i didn't feel any sickness i was enjoying my holidays..but if adults get chickenpox they used to suffer with fever..my friend suffered it with fever..chickenpox initially starts with one r two wounds only..

Yeah I had the chicken pox when I was a kid and I dont remember it being all that bad the only thing I didnt like is I got it on a saturday and had to miss a birthday party and I didnt get any time off from school which sucked and the only thing I was mad at lol.

I had a chicken pox when I was 18 years old. Chicken pox, just like mumps and measles are immune diseases of humans, they are natural illnesses of our body system that we must gone through, according to some health professionals, these are some ways of extracting bacteria in our body so it is just normal. If we never attacked any of these illnesses during our lifetime, we are in danger of "silent" bacteria that little by little attacked and destroy our immune system. There are no prevention of these diseases because they are natural and most likely will occur to all humans, but we have immunization when we were still infants so these diseases are not really fatal anymore. I am glad that I was having these diseases when I was still young at least, the agony was still bearable, because beloved mama was always on my side. Remember, Queen Elizabeth II of England?she got a chicken pox when she was over 60 years old, because when she was still a child she was extremely protected so the disease keep "hiding" in her system, but then these natural diseases will really surface, even if we are old enough.

yes, i had this before when i was still young. i still have the marks on my face which i really hate. i just want to get rid of it. they said it's because of our blood weaknesses.

I haven't have a chickenpox till now. When I was a child, I have a vaccination that can keep children from chickenpox. All the children should have this vaccination in China. But if the body condition is too bad, people still could have a chickenpox.My friend had a chickenpox last year. Don't worry and happy mylotting.
