I don’t know if I have any physical scars from chickenpox, but the misery of having it is one of my earliest memories.
I recall sitting in the bathroom, everything was itching and painful, the light was off, but what little light there was bored into my head. My mother took a photo of me, with the camera flash on. She was laughing, while also crooning over me.
I didn’t know that there even was a vaccine for chickenpox until I was in my 20s. I was so little, who in their right mind is okay with their child going through that? My mother is an anti-vaxxer and honestly I loathe her for that.
same here, dint realize there was one. and i also found out through my records i had the vaccine but it dint prevent the severity of shingles though, i had it at 20 since i had the chickenpox prior to the vaccine coming out. varicella is pretty mild for children, but its dangerous for adults, the symptoms are considerably more severe and requires treatment asap.
I’m old enough that there actually wasn’t a chickenpox vaccine until after I’d already had it. Thankfully, my case wasn’t nearly as miserable as what you’ve described. I just got kinda itchy all over and got to stay in bed watching TV for like a week.
