Barbarella Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 rossybee I was unlucky enough to get chickenpox a few years ago. Worse for adults - more skin to be spotty. What worked best and stopped itching for longest was Body Shop tea tree gel moisturiser. There is also a similar product by Tisserand. A bit more expensive than the usual calamine stuff the doctor recommends but far more effective. Those abo's knew a thing or two. I only had two really nasty blisters which I cleared up in a week with the stronger BS tea-tree 'wand' for zapping spots. Hope your littl'un is better soon Se7en's - the most fun you can have with clothes on Barbarella here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meldrew Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Ross, don't know whether it's approved for really little 'uns, but if it is, get the doc to give them aciclovir/zovirax. It clears up chicken pox fast and avoids a lot of torment. Poor little fellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossybee Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 Thanks, but can't use zovirax. Have a Piriton liquid which helps a bit Reckon he's over the worst now, so fingers crossed.... Everyone who's seen him reckons it's the worst case they've ver seen! (me included) Rrrrrrrrooosssssss!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 My sister got chickepox - aged 34... ...for the second time... And I, who caught it at the same time she did as a sprog, had to deliver the camomile lotion (bumper pack, for bumper-sized person). Wasn't too keen to enter the household, despite protestations that the infectious period ends before the evidence is evidenced.

rossybee Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 My wife's never had it (chickenpox, that is 😳) As an adult it can lead to all manner of crap (shingles, kidney damage, etc) Cheery, huh? Rrrrrrrrooosssssss!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibster. Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Went down with CP when I was at a conference in Hungary. I was carted off in an ambulance after I collapsed with a fever and was taken to an isolation hospital as Cp is a notifiable illness over there. So there I was literally locked in to a hospital room, the staff spoke no English and my hungarian is a little thin, they'd also taken away my passport etc. One of my colleagues was allowed to visit after a few days and bought our bilingual distributor with him, he also bought the Sunday Times, it took me 1.5 days to read every single printed word - all the house adverts, all the fashion tips, all of the heavy weight political stuff. The hospital wouldn't let me leave by any means of transport that could involve me infecting anyone else so medical repatriation under our medical insurance was also out of the window as the insurance didn't cover me needing my own private plane A few days later it was my birthday and I had a visit from the embassy, they bought me the luxury of a box of Terry's All Gold, whoopppeeee, that certainly beat the strange soup I'd been eating every day. Eventually the hospital decided that it would be OK if I was driven home, my other half who had flown out went and hired a car (she'd never driven on the right before) and turned up at the hospital. Much form filling later I was allowed to leave on the promise that we'd drive On advice from Dr's in the UK I was no longer infectious and so we decided to cheat and fly home. Off to the airport we went, I bought a one way ticket and we went through the passport checks and there was a problem with my ticket and my passport, OMG, I've been found out, so we stood there for what felt like hours, me covered in make up trying to hide the evidence and now sweating like a pig. It turned out they were just suspicious of 2 people flying together, one of them with a return ticket and one with a one way, so all was OK. Strangely I've not been back to Hungary and I've not forgiven one of my nephews who gave me the CP (for the 2nd time) 😬 Supercheese R250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Mupferit Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 And even when the kids grow up you can still be kept awake at night, by them coming home pi**ed in the small hours, having forgotten or lost their door key then throwing up on the doorstep as you open the door...............nice *eek* Actually that wasn't my son, it was me when I lived at home. 😬 😬 😬 Brent Zetec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-B Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Mrs B has two that can do that routine far better, more reliably, and most of the time when not at university alll too familiar with that, only once the 0300 phone call "i don't know where i am -- can you come get me".....
