No, they stack in severity, not time. So you have just under seven years of really bad luck now. |

When first the Fox saw the Lion he was terribly frightened, and ran away and hid himself in the wood. Next time however he came near the King of Beasts he stopped at a safe distance and watched him pass by. The third time they came near one another the Fox went straight up to the Lion and passed the time of day with him, asking him how his family were, and when he should have the pleasure of seeing him again; then turning his tail, he parted from the Lion without much ceremony. |

Take a photo of yourself holding a sign saying she's got it in front of something showing today's date. This is so if there is an outbreak at her university in 18 years' time and she calls you urgently to know if she had it, you can reassure her and send the photo as proof. |

Yeah, the other one looked clean, so i took her in this morning. Not sure how long it'll last, I hit up a doctor friend about it last night but she hasn't fotten back to me. We had a cottage booked with MrsA's uni friends this weekend, but we now cannot go because reasons, but that was cash so no bill to pay for that. |

Best case for me is that she is dumb enough to just get by, but pretty enough to marry wealthy, so I can dodge cost of uni. |

Which is a good thing. You want your child to get chicken pox. When the Grimlet had his all the other kids came over to play  (It's contagious about two days before the spots appear until about five days afterwards) |

My daughter had chicken pox when she was about 3 or 4 and shingles when she was 18. I don't think they're actually the same exactly so the old wives tale about getting the pox young means you won't get it later in life might be true, but shingles isn't the pox. |

It's not an old wives tale, it definitely is the exact same virus it's just that whilst most people will develop immunity an unfortunate few won't. |

Same virus, different disease apparently. As I understand it from having just spent some time reading about it, 1 in 3 adults over a certain age who have had chicken pox will get shingles later in life as like most viruses it stays in your 'system' but is suppressed by your immune system. Age and other ailments can suppress your immune system and then the virus can resurface. Although not 100% true, due to chicken pox being highly contagious and shingles not being very contagious, it's very unlikely you'll get shingles unless you've had chicken pox, or a chicken pox immunisation jab. Also, if you've never had chicken pox and you're exposed to someone with shingles, in the unlikely event that the virus (you would need direct contact with the sores, so getting it on your hands and then rubbing your eyes or similar), transfers, you'll very likely get chicken pox and not shingles. |

My parents have both had shingles - and recovered okay. Mum just recently, she was most worried about how it looked. Dad had it around Christmas time, and the local carol singers called round. When they heard he was ill upstairs they offered to sing "Shingle Bells", which I thought was superb. |

Doesn't all this make a mockery of people trying to ensure their kids get chicken pox? If you've never had it the most you can get is chicken pox; you can't go from never having had either of them straight to shingles. As you can only get shingles if you've previously had chicken pox, isn't the best course of action just to try not to get chicken pox in the first place? |
