I’m old enough that there actually wasn’t a chickenpox vaccine until after I’d already had it. Thankfully, my case wasn’t nearly as miserable as what you’ve described. I just got kinda itchy all over and got to stay in bed watching TV for like a week.

Dojan@pawb.social 3 days agoI don’t know if I have any physical scars from chickenpox, but the misery of having it is one of my earliest memories.
I recall sitting in the bathroom, everything was itching and painful, the light was off, but what little light there was bored into my head.
I didn’t know that there even was a vaccine for chickenpox until I was in my 20s. I was so little, who in their right mind is okay with their child going through that? My mother is an anti-vaxxer and honestly I loathe her for that.
