Day 6

Last night started of bad, the usual sleeplessness, irritation, itchiness, feeling sick and run down. Scalp is the worst in terms of discomfort. Took paracetamol at 03:00, have been drinking lots of liquids. Then after midnight slept for about 4 hours which was great. Was hungry throughout the night which I guess is a good thing if I still have a healthy appetite Been drinking lots water and juice too.

This morning had breakfast downstairs, then decided to shower instead of a bath. The lukewarm water was great on the scalp and I also used a baby shampoo to gently wash my hair. The pox are all still yellowish with many now forming crusty yellowish scabs. More smaller reddish poxes (is that a real word?) are appearing on legs and arms with very small boils in centre but (maybe hopeful thinking) not at an accelerated rate as before.

12:40 Haven't taken paracetamol since early this morning. Haven't felt that bad except for the usual itchiness. Less tingling on skin all over too. Current body temp. 37.6C (99.6F) [Normal body temp. is 37C / 98.6F]

Haven't taken any more anti-histamines but may tonight if this scalp discomfort continues.

13:10 Cough still here but not too bad. Throat sore when I swallow.

19:45 Had a busy afternoon on the phone with work and clients, and also had chicken soup and rolls for lunch and dinner. Haven't taken any pain killers today and felt good. Current body temp. is 37.7C (99.8F). I think I will take a paracetamol before bed. Scalp is very itchy and uncomfortable. Not sure if there have been many new spots or not, haven't noticed any. Hopefully I can sleep a bit better tonight. Will wash face with cold water and flannel, and also dry placing a cold flannel on scalp for some relief before sleeping. Sting still tingling a little on face think it is to do with scabs. Been having freshly home squeezed juices whole time been sick, eating well and drinking lots water. Hopefully its helping the immune system win the war against this terrible virus.

21:00 Body Temp 37.4C (99.4F)

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 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.

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.
