They suck. I remember when my mom had them. But hers was on her face.

Very sorry to hear Bob Dole.
I'm 52 and in September I came down with Chicken Pox of all things. After about 7 days I started getting the worst headache of my life. Couldn't lay down, sit still, just paced around the house all one night. Next day my wife called the doctor and they told me to go to the ER. Spent 3 days in the local hospital and then they transferred me to an intensive care unit in Sioux Falls where the real expensive doctors could watch me. Even had several visits from the CDC doctors. Finally started coming out of it but had to give myself viral med infusion treatments for another week. Worst thing I've ever been through and they told me after 6 months don't wait to get a shingles shot. I have just a couple months left and then I'm doing it. The interesting thing about the chicken pox are I had a mild case when I was real young. That confused the local docs for a while but the ones in SF says we'll start to see more repeat cases, because with the vaccine now the disease is rare so over time some immune systems can forget they've had it. That's what happened to me. Hope your case goes away quickly. |

I've had them on and off for about eight months now. Sucks some major ass. Take meds and use anti itch cream when they get bad. I've scratched so bad some nights I've woke up with a bloody shirt. Good luck

As soon as they're gone, get the vaccine.
They'll never return again. |

Try some Turmeric and Neem Leaf. They are both strong natural anti-virals. Turmeric you can get at Walmart. Neem Leaf I have never looked for it there before.

Did you know that if you've had chicken pox, the shingles virus already resides in you?
Really though, get well soon. I have a bad feeling that I'll have something like shingles later in life. I have a shitty epidermis. I'm pale as hell, prone to impetigo, and have had pityriasis rosea twice. |
