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.
A good night sleep, took no pain killers before bed. Felt pretty good most of day. A slight cough. Scalp and face mildly itchy but largely scabbing over now. Few yellow liquid filled boils on body, they were the late comers. Still spending time in bed relaxing. Had a shower, washed hair with baby shampoo, but body with water. After shower filled sink with warm water, and add Olay mild face wash and dabbed face lightly using a flannel. Felt great after. Lots people giving advice not to pick or scratch the scabs or they will scar. Whenever I get a itch that's unbearable i gently touch the spot and itch usually goes away.

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 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.
