Guest guest Posted July 18, 2000 Report Share Posted July 18, 2000 > > How bad IS the chickenpox at age 22? Just > wondering...my mom is 47 and has never had them. It's been about 10 years but lets see.... It took about 6 months of repeated exposure of children coming down with them in my daycare class to finally get them. The first day I was like this is a breeze. The second and third days were the worse. I don't remember how high the fever was but I knew I had one because I was shivering with the chills. basically just sat around naked wrapped in a sheet because I couldn't stand anything to touch my skin including my own hair. I couldn't sleep, didn't want to eat, took lots of baths. Then when the fever broke I just slept for like 20 hours a day for a day or so. Then just waited for the spots to crust over and was fine. The only scars I got were ones that my new puppy knocked off trying to lick me! My husband, who was away in the army, had to come home to take care of the house and pets, I couldn't have handled anything myself. It really wasn't any worse than having strep throat or a bad case of the flu.
