Shout out to Terry Bradshaw.

I thought everyone got this as a child but apparently I'm mistaken.

Poll question: Have you had chicken pox before?

Poll result (48 votes) Yes (40 votes) Vote No (8 votes) Vote

my nurse didnt believe me. got tested and dont have the antibodies.
all these anti-vaxers not vaxing their kids got me scared so i just did it.

i got it when i was 17 :(

My brother had it about a week before and he kept trying to wrestle me...got that shit two days before the ceremony.

All I remember is watching a Rocky marathon, eating chicken soup, and being delirious off of medicine. I wish I had a high that good gain...I watched Jack Hannah's nature hour and saw a new color that I can only describe as molten gray.

It's a shame kids won't get to experience that type of sickness anymore.

*Sigh*

Doctor said it was one of the worst cases of pox he had seen. Those bumps were everywhere - between my fingers, between my toes, on my eyelids, everywhere.

that's why people sell lollipops infected w/ it online which is gross lol

i had it around 4/5. i barely remember it.

"Available Vaccines and Vaccination Campaigns

The chickenpox vaccine was added to the childhood immunization schedule in 1995. The booster dose was added in 2006."

^^^ there's a vaccine now so maybe that's why we're seeing adults who've never had c/p.

when i was a kid it seemed most kids dealt w/c-p at some point during childhood. and some parents would even purposefully expose their kids to it so they could 'get it over with'.

no lasting scars either, lol.

I have antibodies for varicella so I've had it. It was probably mild. Everyone in my house had it at one point except me and my older sister.

I was out of school for 3 weeks.

5, 8 and 1o. The last time I didn't hurt or itch from it at all, but the bumps were everywhere. Stayed out of school for a little over a week and my mom didn't let me out of my room to do anything but wash and avail myself of the restroom.

I couldn't go to school as long as I had the bumps, so it was just Nintendo and cereal until they went away. Didn't itch in the bed or anything, easily the best sick experience I've ever had.

for those that ain't scared

1st and 3rd grade

I evidently caught it during the Xmas break and it didn't reveal itself until I returned to school. I was quarantined in my room and friends who had already had it brought me meals and class notes...etc.

So, 25 years later...

...sorry Paddyfoote Hall.

Funny thing is there was this one dude who I gave to, who sold weed, that said fuck it and kept doing business with full blown chicken pox. So I may have been patient zero, but if anybody else caught it, I blame that dude.

My hubby didn't. So if/when my lil girl gets it, he has to leave the house.

>leave the house.

and I self diagnosed that some of that blood was post chicken pox

my older sister had it really bad
we had it at the same time but my shit just wasn't that bad from what i remember
because of this i fear getting it now

Oh, and I've had it when I was 8 or so.
