I thought chicken pox was the thing where parents would hold infection parties so their kids would get it once at a convenient time and then be done with it. Or was that measles? |

It was chicken pox. My mom had a "party" when my brother got them.

I have heard that it is very bad to get as an adult. My cousin had it as an adult, and she was never able to have kids. My mom said that she believed chicken pox was the cause. I don't know if that's right or not. |

There was a vaccine given to all kids around the early 70's. It was a failure and boosters had to be given. Cant remember if it was DPT or measles. Someone here will know. |

It goes straight from this little box hooked to the set to my hearing aids. The volume is off on the Tv so it doesn't bother anyone else. For most programs, I don't need closed captioning anymore. |

I’ve had shingles since I was 17. I had chickenpox late 15/16. Took me 15+ years to figure out what it was. While it’s dangerous to me (as the spot I get it is by my right eye), once I learned excessive sun exposure is a prime trigger, I always cake on the 50spf when I know I’ll be in the sun a while, and it’s rare for it to occur. Antiviral meds help too if you catch it quick. But yeah, it’s no fun at all. |

After that I made sure to get the shingles vax just to avoid the possibility it could do to me what CP did. |
