I got it in third grade, and so did my entire class. I think there were only 2 kids when I came back -- everyone caught it!
Did you have chicken pox? Or shingles?
-
Yep in grade 1! And gave it to my brother and sister as well!
-
Yes in fourth grade! My younger brother didn't catch it from me, he got it when he was in college and was hospitalized.
-
Yes! Maybe in first grade. I had the worst case... They were EVERYWHERE!
-
Yes! Pretty sure my whole first grade class caught it. I missed a week of school and lived in oatmeal baths but otherwise it wasn't a big deal. My sister who was two at the time caught it as well.
-
Yes. 5th grade. I gave it to my poor mother who had never had it.
-
I had it in kindergarten. Shingles in high school.
-
Kindergarten. DH got shingles a few years ago.
-
Yes!
-
I had chicken pox the summer before kindergarten. I had shingles during my second trimester! It actually wasn't that bad.
-
Yup, twice! I had it once as a baby, and again on 3rd grade. My brother got it, and passed it along to me. I was sad to miss the last week of school.
-
Nope, my brother and I both made it through elementary school without it so we got the vaccine instead.
-
Yep, grade 2... I got it from my best friend. I then gave it to my 3 younger sisters. It was a fun week in our household
-
Yes. The day of my 5th birthday. I was so bummed.
-
Yep in Kindergarten.
-
Yes, when I was 9.
-
Yes, I had the chicken pox when I was 3.
-
I was 14, it was an especially strong type, and kinda terrible... But really OK
-
Yes, I think it was third grade
-
Never had it. My brother caught it when I was 5, and my parents tried to get me to get it too, but I never did! So I got the vaccine a few years ago.
-
Yup! My little brother caught it from me and had it soooo much worse.
-
I had it as a baby after my 4 year-old sister had it. Thankfully it was enough for immunity, as I've been exposed multiple times since!
-
Yes, I was a baby and gave it to my sister. She was on her way to Hong Kong when she started to break out.
-
I was in 3rd grade. My cousin had it so my parents took us over for a chicken pox party. All of us got it except for her sister, who was vaccinated once she turned 12.
-
Yes, in 1st grade. We had gone on vacation to Las Vegas and I woke up with them our first morning there.
-
Never. Still need to get vaccinated too but whenever I'm reminded of this , I've either been pregnant, breastfeeding or TTC.
-
Yes, in 1st grade! I remember how itchy and miserable I felt, and I got a couple scars from it!
-
I'm pretty sure I did not!
-
No! I was actually part of a vaccine study when I was around 18 months old! I was constantly exposed to it...my brothers, my cousins, and a "chicken pox party" in the neighborhood, but the worst I ever got was a very, very mild heat rash that was gone within 12 hours.
-
Yes, it spread through my entire kindergarten class. I gave it to my infant brother.
-
Yes, I think I was in second grade. It was really bad. I had it in my mouth and throat and everywhere! My good friend got pneumonia from it, and was in the hospital.
-
I did and distinctly remember it because most of my class got it as well but for some reason there was one family who told my mom that I was the one who gave it to their daughter.
Weirdly, the last time I was pregnant, my blood tests showed that I'm not actually inoculated against it.
-
Nope, I've had the vaccine, but I still get checked regularly to see if I still have immunity. If not, I will get a booster shot.
-
Yes to both, and both are horrible to go through. I recently got over a bout of shingles that popped up just before Christmas. I was terrified of giving chicken pox to my 12 week old at the time.
Shingles is horribly painful, and I don't wish them on my worst enemy.
-
I had the chicken pox when I was 4 and I think I passed them on to my brother.
-
Chicken pox. Twice.
First time wasn't too bad. The second was awful. -
I have had them 3 (!!) times. Once as a young kid. Twice in college. The first time I had a "mild case" the second two times I had super mild cases. It was embarrassing to call work and tell them I had the chicken pox.
-
yep, in grade school.
-
Yes, in maybe first grade.
-
Yes, when I was 7.
It was a VERY mild case.
