I thought you couldn't get chicken pox if you had already had them?

Yes u can most commonly only twice! If u have them severe enough the first time then its really hard to get them again but in all actuality u can get them as many times as you body allows until it builds good enough resistants to it!

I thought that once you had chickenpox you were more likely to get shingles rather than get chickenpox again. Obviously I'm wrong. It must be horrible - I remember how annoying it was when I was a kid. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, and remember not to scratch!

Oh, you poor thing. My husband got chicken pox as an adult and he was REALLY sick, I've never seen him like that. It was utterly miserable.

And here I was moaning and whinging because I had typhoid and hep vaccs on monday to go to Thailand and my arm hurts and I feel a bit yucky!

I had the pox 3 times. As a kid they werent really bad. I got them again about 19. Only about 6 spots showed up. And again when I was about 23. No spots then but confirmed with a blood test.I felt run down but not really flu like. I lived in different parts of the country each time and it must have been a different strain. Have been exposed several times since 23 and never did get them again. Hopefully never again.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
