Don't panic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-1030515 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 05:04:26 +0000 Adira 1030515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: WTF?!? So far my nails seem fine... I'm going to flip out if I lose any!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-1030324 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 21:15:05 +0000 MamaG 1030324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: How are your nails? My DH ended up losing all his fingernails as part of this process as well. He complained about them from the very beginning. Also, LO just lost her thumbnail recently as well (almost 6 weeks later!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-1030209 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 20:35:41 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1030209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I don't know how I missed this either, but so had you're doing much better now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-1030161 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 20:10:14 +0000 Adira 1030161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: @cmomma17: Thanks ladies!! I am much better!! The intense itchiness in my hands and pain in my feet each lasted about 2.5 days and then I started to get better! I never did get the horrible sore throat, so I think I lucked out!! I am now just entering the skin peeling phase, which is gross looking, but otherwise not too unpleasant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-1030139 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 20:02:58 +0000 cmomma17 1030139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't believe I missed this! You poor thing! Hope you're feeling much much better now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-1030130 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 19:59:01 +0000 Corduroy 1030130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: How are you doing? I hope you're all better.</p> <p>I followed this thread closely out of a fear of this virus. Today daycare had a note on the signout sheet that one of the LOs was diagnosed with it. Ugh -so not excited about the prospect of getting this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-1013026 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 11:07:48 +0000 Adira 1013026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: Oh, so there's still time for this to happen, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-1013001 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 11:02:27 +0000 keiki_mama 1013001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I don't think my peeling started right away... maybe 4-5 days after the bumps went away? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-1012944 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 10:48:50 +0000 Adira 1012944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: I haven't had ANY peeling! I wonder if maybe I had something totally different! My bumps have just faded and disappeared! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-1012918 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 10:42:28 +0000 keiki_mama 1012918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Good to hear you are doing better!!! The only benefit of having this was the skin peeling off around my cuticles on my fingers and toes--it looks like I got a mani/pedi :happy: I had it weeks ago and the skin on my feet are still peeling. Minimal shedding on the hands at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-1009352 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:18:51 +0000 Adira 1009352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Soooooooo.... I THINK I'm on the mend! I never got the sore throat (knock on wood), but my hands are no longer CRAZY itchy and my feet don't hurt anymore, and all these bumps seem to be fading!!!</p> <p>I think for having had this, I probably had it easy (knock on wood)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-999536 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:27:31 +0000 Adira 999536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lisa1783: Thank you!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-999511 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:21:07 +0000 lisa1783 999511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's also hard because everyone's symptoms are so different when you're an adult and get it. Some people get intense itching while others only get the mouth sores. Either case, stay hydrated! I hope it's super fast for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-999502 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:19:57 +0000 Adira 999502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: Well, I don't have a fever. I want to take ibuprofen for the PAIN! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me/page/2#post-999457 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:10:54 +0000 Navy_Mommy 999457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always avoid fever reducers because I strongly believe a fever helps get you better faster, so I just sweat it out. I attribute that to why I get better quickly, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me#post-999445 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:09:00 +0000 Navy_Mommy 999445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I got like a 102 fever and my throat was basically swollen shut. I lived on chicken broth and Gatorade for 2 days to try and save my breastmilk supply. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me#post-999441 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:06:48 +0000 Adira 999441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: OMG, what!!!! Could you not move because of the pain??? Gahhh, I hope it doesn't get worse than it already is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me#post-999425 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:03:47 +0000 Navy_Mommy 999425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: DH had to stay home from work on day two because I literally couldn't move out of bed and SOMEONE had to take care of W! He would bring him in the bedroom to nurse and that was really it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me#post-999408 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:59:55 +0000 Adira 999408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: I'd LOVE it if mine was gone within 72 hours!!! I'm on day 2! I haven't experienced the fever/throat part at all though, but I'm scared it's coming. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me#post-999400 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:58:15 +0000 Navy_Mommy 999400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got it when DS was like 3 months, he had the spots on his toes but never seemed bothered, I on the other hand almost DIED! lol. It hit me hard and fast and was gone within 72 hours. I was more bothered by the fever/throat than the rash part on my hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me#post-999396 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:57:30 +0000 keiki_mama 999396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I did at first but it went away before the bumps populated and it wasn't so bad. I drank a lot of peppermint tea. Luckily, neither LO or I got it in our mouth... I don't think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me#post-999390 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:56:03 +0000 Adira 999390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: Thanks!!! It definitely helps hearing someone else's experience! Sounds like it's affecting me the same as it did you! Did you also have the sore throat? I haven't had that yet and I'm scared, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me#post-999374 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:51:28 +0000 keiki_mama 999374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Yes! I used hydrocortisone like my life depended on it. It started balling up on my skin after a while and I had to go wash it off and start from scratch. I have to admit, feeling cold water running down on my hands felt awesome! I could hardly keep up with my toddler while my feet hurt--I walked around like a penguin. Hang in there! It will be over soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me#post-999365 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:49:02 +0000 Adira 999365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: Okay, I could probably deal with two days... unless the two days are worse than today!!!! The itching is sooooo intense - is it bad I want to use my hydrocortisone creme like lotion and just keep reapplying it??? And the pain for me is mostly my feet too. It hurts to walk! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me#post-999357 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:46:10 +0000 keiki_mama 999357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I feel like I had it BAD for two days and it started lessening, same with the pain. The pain was mostly on the sole of my feet. The itching got so bad I couldn't sleep! I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me#post-999349 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:43:45 +0000 Adira 999349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: Ugh, sorry to hear you had this too! It's awful!!! How long would you say the pain or itching lasted? I can deal with peeling (as unpleasant as that will be), but the itching is driving me CRAZY!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me#post-999343 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:41:31 +0000 keiki_mama 999343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, my LO had it last month and gave it to me :sad: Lots of lotion and hydrocortisone 1%. I also used ice packs to ease the itch when it got really bad. Skin from my fingers and toes are still peeling for HFM weeks after. HFM stinks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-dr-hellobee-help-diagnose-me#post-999227 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:12:37 +0000 regberadaisy 999227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: haha just a few days ago! </p>
