Have you ever had chickenpox?

I got the shot

Didn't get it till I was 18, and it gets worse the older you get. Had the little bastards everywhere, all over my body, in my mouth and throat, between my teeth. Didn't really scratch at them that much though so no scars.

Mouth?! Throat?! Teeth?!?! I've never heard of those cases! I'd be a fool to ask if it hurt.

 

[CoverYourHead]

Nope, got the vaccine... Though I don't really trust it. I try to avoid people with the Pox... not that it's very difficult.

Got it earlier this year.
Itched like hell, especially round the genital region.

I was inoculated when I was a baby. No illness for me.

 

[aether-x3]

Ive had them but i don't remember when, I'm pretty sure I was fairly young though.

 

[Zap Rowsdower]

When I was really young. I don't remember but I'm told I was 2-3.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

6 years old...I actually was trying so hard for it to stop, my mom simply oat'd me.

 

[Eggsnham]

Nope, I got one a' them fancy immunity shots.

Although, I've had scarlet fever twice.

 

[KaiRai]

When I was 5. I sctrached like a *****. Constantly. Camomile (sp?) cream is horrible

 

[Riccan]

Well I had it when I was probably five. Either it wasn't enough or god hates me, but my body didn't build an immunity. So last year I had it again but over most of my body this time.

 

[MikailCaboose]

I was like 8. Worst case of the pox my doctor had seen. Luckily, because of that fact I'll NEVER get it again. Nope. Never.
Good thing too, one of the damned things screwed up my eye...

I had them in second grade. It was an epidemic, and my entire class had them all at once, except one girl. I don't remember scratching a ton, but I do remember waking up, and there would be a ton of the ones that fell off in the night in the shape of my head on my pillow when I'd wake up.

And yeah, milk never did anything for me either. I've never even heard that before. I just had to keep using a ton of that pink stuff (at least, I think it was pink).

 

[Hawgh]

I sorta remember it, so at least I was sentient at the time.

Point of interest: Apparently, a later breakout can occur, in which case it is referred to as hellfire. Lovely terminology.

When I was 6 and I missed out on a school excursion that I desperately wanted to go on. I don't remember much other than feeling very depressed about missing the excursion.

 

[War Penguin]

I got it when I was six or seven. It wasn't too fun, obviously, but I got through it knowing that I was missing school.
