    Had chicken pox when I was 25. It started out as a sore back with a running nose. The rash didn't fully develop until after my fever broke. I got lucky, because some of my skin got chewed up, but it eventually healed over.

    I've had chickenpox and shingles. I don't think anyone ever knew of when I had chickenpox, but that shouldn't be so important because no illness is a pleasure to remember!

    Pneumonia, encephalitis, high fever, and flu like symptoms, and contagious two days before symptoms occur. We can learn a quite a bit from this when dealing with coronavirus.

    I always had problems with my skin ( eczema ).
    I have a little bit of eczema atm but not to bad, but out of nowhere i get alot of rash/wounds all over my skin.
    Now i dont feel sick or anything, just super itchy.
    Do i have chicken pox, or is it something else maybe?

    I got it at 24, was pretty bad, but some months later it had a go at my heart, was hell on earth. I was never right after it and it wrecked my health until my late 30s. Now 50. Anyone wno has chicken pox late id advise complete rest for several months. After heart virus you should abstain from heavy exercise for 6 months. I didn't get that advice.
