It is getting better, the anti-virals are working wonders.

That's great news.
I suppose... Mind you, if something bad did happen to you I'd certainly miss your wit an wisdom...

I've been taking the anti virals and antihistamines, I thought I was going to cry last night, trying to sleep was a nightmare.

Thanks for being so kind.

Just don't read any Rudyard Kipling... I did, it made my eyes water, and the pain was immense, which made my eyes water even more...

Ah Brother Kipling. Such a nice man.

However, it does pass... eventually...

Calomine helps a lot with the itching, and an antihistamine tablet or two can also help.

Thanks for asking, Zeity.

Have you tried having a shower? Maybe you can just wash them off?

We had a student pull that one last term... I was ever so amused having spent 3 weeks in bed with chickenpox...

The effect of chickenpox can differ on a 20 yr old vs a 57 year old.

We had a woman who worked with us once and went sick on the Friday so I had to do a double shift to cover for her. Back at work on Monday and her excuse for being sick, chickenpox. Fastest case I have ever seen...

I'm back from the doctor and do have chicken pox. Have massive anti-viral tablets to take five times a day. Apparently, getting them as an adult means you are more susceptable to lung infection.

Awww.. *hugs* hun - get well soon
