My mom got it from my niece and she said it was worse than shingles. Her finger nails fell off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-foot-mouth-as-adult#post-2759629 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 15:46:56 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2759629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had it, but worked in a daycare where a bunch of kids got it and three workers so I was lucky. The adults said it was really awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-foot-mouth-as-adult#post-2759622 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 15:34:42 +0000 JLC53 2759622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband got it from my son last year. He said it was the worst thing he ever got... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-foot-mouth-as-adult#post-2759500 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 12:08:03 +0000 PawPrints 2759500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our whole family got it last December. It was super mild for DD, barely noticeable for me, but MURDER for DH. He could barely talk or eat for weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-foot-mouth-as-adult#post-2759326 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 07:05:19 +0000 LindsayInNY 2759326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update - apparently I just have inflamed taste buds. Something with a fancy P word. I don't know how it happened since I haven't had spicy or burned my mouth or anything... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-foot-mouth-as-adult#post-2759325 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 07:02:28 +0000 Adira 2759325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it, but neither my son or I had sores in our mouth - just got the blisters all over our hands and feet. It sucks to have it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-foot-mouth-as-adult#post-2759323 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 07:00:40 +0000 LadyDi 2759323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I caught it from my son, but we were both lucky and didn't get sores in our mouth. He had them all over his hands, feet, arms, face, etc. I had them on my arms and legs, had a fever, and threw up from it. We both ended up peeling on our finger tips and toes from it and it lasted for months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-foot-mouth-as-adult#post-2759199 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 18:37:16 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2759199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I had it. Wicked sore throat and sores on hands and feet that lasted weeks. Lots of cold drinks, milkshakes and whatnot for a week, plus Advil. The worst was having to explain the blisters on my hands to clients back at work for weeks later </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-foot-mouth-as-adult#post-2759187 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 18:06:33 +0000 ladybee 2759187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it last school year. I got it from a student and gave it to our baby. He has irritable and had sores but not horrible. I was miserable. I had sores in my throat and a fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-foot-mouth-as-adult#post-2759183 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 18:00:15 +0000 peachykeen 2759183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I caught it from DD last summer and had it way worse than her. I also had no mouth sores but my hands and feet were covered. Hope it turns out to be something else for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-foot-mouth-as-adult#post-2759164 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 16:47:33 +0000 dolphin 2759164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I've had and and so did DH. We caught it from DD. It was awful. No sores in mouth but I had red bumps all over hands and feet. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hand-foot-mouth-as-adult#post-2759160 Mon, 17 Jul 2017 16:39:08 +0000 LindsayInNY 2759160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have HFM as an adult? I think I might have it. No fever or rash but sores in my mouth (on my tongue). DD had something going on last week that we thought we're 2 year old molars but at her annual exam on Saturday, the doctor didn't see any poking through. Daycare said she was irritable, moody. No fever or rash for her either though. Could it be? </p>
