Day 1

It was the afternoon. I had been working at my computer most of the day. My neck was starting to ache. I just assumed that was due to the fact I was looking down at my computer. When I got home, my body was aching, and I felt hot and feverish. I could feel my lymph nodes at the back of my neck were swollen. My arms were aching too. I thought to myself that I was coming down with a cold or the flu. I just took some pain killers and went to bed.

Hi, brilliant idea! I'll post my comments each day as I live through them so that we can see at least two disease progressions. I just started on Sunday... what i remember is that i was reading in a bookstore sitting on an armchair... and a guy was looking at me because i was unattractively absentmindly scratching what i thought was a mosquito bite from a cookout the previous day. that's my earliest memory..

i forgot--i went to bed and saw some zits on my face and put some acne meds on it to dry them up.. was thinking that i was really eating poorly bc it seemed like a greater outbreak than the usual one or two at the same time...

I knew I was going to get them. I'm nearly 40 and looked after a friends son for the night. When I was getting them ready for bed I saw he had chicken pox. I called my friend to come and get him but I figured I would either get it from him or my kids would and then I would catch it from them.
I did some reading so I could catch it early.
Wednesday afternoon I had the same kind of feeling as you - just felt awful, aches all over, bad headache, sore glands in the back of my head and nausea. I went to work but came home at lunch and went to bed. Found maybe 2 spots but only because I went looking.

I would like to share my experience as well. It was a Sunday night,I just snapchatted a picture with the #HateMondays!! Monday mornings mark the beginning of the week and there is new work assigned.I expected it to a usual Monday,but fate had something else instored for me.I woke up to a few boils on my face and stomach.
I thought it was a minor skin infection,so I decided to go to work.My body was really weak and I could barely manage to stand,but then I thought once I get to work I would be fine.
So as planned,I went to office.Worked from morning to evening,until I started feeling extreme weakness.Also,the boils on my stomach were getting me really worried.
I decided to leave early from work and go see a doctor.Getting home was difficult not only because of the traffic but also because my mind was occupied with so many negative thoughts.
I started googling about the symptoms and checking if I had them too.
Later in the evening,I saw a doctor and he confirmed it was chickenpox.I was so sad and felt terrible.Along with the sorrow of being infected came a long list of medicines.
The saddest part is that I had got the vaccination as a child.But then something's are not in our control.

Day 1 - I am feeling flu symptoms so I got a Panadol and go to the office. I am working abroad in Kenya and I notice some allergy like symptoms in my chest. I thought it was the hotel soap or something and just send to the office.

Day 231

Most of the brown scars have not pretty much vanished. Once or two very faint ones left. Quite a few little craters but can't really see them on the face. One larger crater on cheek but thats ok, got used to it now. Have stopped applying the Mederma and Bio-Oil everyday. Just put them on now and then. Few brown scars on body particularly around the waist, they will remain.

Day 22

Well, over the course of the last few weeks since I last posted all the scabs on my body have fallen off. No marks left from the ones from the body just faint pink ones for some spots. However, when the scabs fell of face, they were pink first now gone brown, so have all these brown blemishes over face. Dr says they should fade but will take a very long time! He said immediate solution could be laser treatment, but will wait and see. Shaved the beard off few days ago which is great but reveals more brown spots so growing stubble back. Been rubbing BioOil at night, and Dr suggested I use Mederma few times a day [Please seek your own medical advice]. One lymph node still a little swollen, Dr said it will probably stay like that but to keep an eye on it. Still had a few scabs on scalp, almost all gone.

Day 123

The scars are slowly fading, some have disappeared. One or two actually look permanent. Most of my scars that remained were on my face. The ones on my body have pretty much gone. I have one or two craters on my face, the scar colouring has gone from them, guess they are permanent too. Still keeping to my regime of Mederma cream during the day and BioOil before bed (Please seek your own medical advice). Most people I bump into these days say I look a lot better than I did earlier this year so thats good.
