Day 2

Woke up feeling feverish. Took temperature, 38.8C (102F). However, still went to work. Kept feeling hot and cold throughout the day. Neck was still aching. Had a bit of a dry cough. When I got home I was feeling terrible. Was taking pain killers throughout the day. Took a hot water bottle to bed. Had a itchy scalp but didn't make too much of it. In the night woke up in a severe sweat, but fell asleep again.

woke up... was supposed to meet up with a couple of friends but hadn't made specific plans. when i changed, saw the bumps all around my trunk and it freaked me out. immediately thought allergic reaction--a food? sheets? boyfriend? called on call nurse who said contact dermititis based on some algorythm--the odd thing is that i didn't have any fever or headache at all, what luck. when i saw my friend he said--i shouldn't have hugged you, bc that looks like chicken pox (people do get it more than once). basically felt fine so hung out with the friends sitting outside--at a distance--and chatting

Stayed home from work and kept my son home from day care my blisters are bigger and I have many more today. Fever 38.2 but easily controlled. Feel just awful if the pain medication wears off. Neck still very sore. Unable to sleep. Eating is no problem. Itch bearable.

The scalp is super itchy, but again, I blame it on the hotel. The flu symptoms are there so I got a couple of Pandols and make my way to the office. After sitting on my desk, my colleague kindly notes that I have some red spots on my face ( Dude, you are going back to puberty, your face is f*^%#!!!!).

In that moment I tied everything and went to see a doctor. He looked at my chest ( then I noticed it was bad) and said firmly: “ this is a clear case of chicken pox.

And that is how it started, my chicken box adventure locked in a hotel in Kenya.

Day 8

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.

Day 3

Woke up in the night feeling hot and sweaty. By morning one or two pale red spots on face, and a watery boil on arm. Decided to go and see my GP. He immediately confirmed chicken pox. He told me to just ride it through since he couldn't prescribe anything for it. He suggested baths with bicarbonate soda added, paracetamol four times a day, Calamine lotion to rub on the pox and an anti-histamine to reduce the itchiness. [Remember, you must seek your own medical advice!]. By afternoon many more red marks and water boils appearing all over scalp, face, neck, arms, chest and back. Took a bath in warm water with two table spoons bicarbonate soda added. Didn't seem to do too much. Continued with paracetamol, last one was at 16h00. Went to bed at 11h00 not feeling to bad except for obvious itching (have not taken the anti-histamine yet). Couldn't sleep, was just getting comfortable.

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.
