Yahh doc added chicken pox serum dooby to blood test along with other shit and wants me to get vaccinated and all that i.e. keep up to date with injections =d

[sodo]

yup yup googling it now =d vic govt site say kids can be vaccinated so i could've had that as a tiker (if WA is similar) or got a good immune system but i do remember going to docs a lot as a kid =d either way, still gonna need follow up vaccinations *pout*

Nah, I've never had them, even though when I was about five or six my entire family got it (my dad was in bed for about four weeks), along with every kid at my school.

[iamshadow]

You may have got the virus but not become symptomatic. It'd be highly unlikely for you to be the only one in your family not to get it, since chicken pox is highly contagious before anyone gets "sick". It's possible to catch the virus and develop the antibodies and just not get the spots.

[saltedpin]

Ah well -- that's what happened then!

I don't recall kids at school having a mass outbreak of chicken pox. It was usually one kid at a time, maybe parents detected it early. Not even positive if my brother had it either. Well I think he did but mum's not so sure

[_megalomania_]

Do you have it? Or are you just asking for other random reasons? *curious*

I had it when I was a kid. Before we came over here. Only thing I remember is calamine lotion was pink and the most AWESOME THING EVER because it stopped the goddamn itching. Which was AWFUL.

You? An odd person? *cough* Surely not. I've certainly never seen any evidence of this :P

*runs away*

I'm infected! *chases you all zombie-like with rage* RAWR!
was just discussing with jackwhore who had chicken pox and such. she has a friend who also didn't have it so I'm curious thus poll time!

[_megalomania_]

Hee! I can totally believe that's exactly what you'd do if you were infected. Right down to the zombie-like rage ;) YOU = EVIL. Yes :P

Ahh. I was just curious about why you were curious. So it's like an endless cycle of curiosity. Or not an endless cycle. Since it's just me and you and you and jackwhore.

I've never sprained an ankle, broken a bone, or been stung by a bee or wasp. Just to be totally random, your comment made me think of this. Have sudden feeling I'm going to leave the house tomorrow and sprain something, break something, and get stung by something. EEEEK :/

I had them in year 9

My brother had come to visit and he had the shingles, which is apparantly another form of the disease or something or other and I ended up with the chicken pox.

[sodo]

Your brother is evil!
Following an attack of chickenpox, the virus becomes latent (lies dormant) in certain nerve cells known as dorsal root ganglia. It may reactivate and give rise to an attack of shingles later in life.
If a person who has never had chicken pox illness or been vaccinated comes in contact with the fluid in the blisters of a person with shingles they may get chickenpox. They will not get shingles. From here.

I had them. I dont remember when, but I did. Hope ya get better ASAP.

I'm not sick with chicken pox!! But thanks for the concern :)
