I was 4 years old...My parents took me to a pox party.
-
I was young, I don't remember it. I had older siblings so I probably caught it from them.
-
2nd grade. apparently about 20 or so of the 30 students in my class were out for a few days.
-
I was 5! Remember being itchy and so miserable
-
3rd grade for me..I also got shingles at 14 blah that sucked
@rubies a pox party? -
@Mrs.M57: Pox party...You know...When your parents take you over to someone's house whose kids have the chicken pox and make you play with them so you catch it, too.
-
2nd grade. Caught it from the boy I sat next to at school (and hated!) and brought it home to my siblings.
-
i was 8 in 3rd grade. when i came back to school, there were 3 kids in my class. everyone had chicken pox!
-
@Rubies: wow there were actually pox parties? i thought that was something people only did lately!
-
@Mrs. Bee: Oh, yeah, for sure. And even at that young age, I remember thinking, "What the heck! Why the heck did you bring me here!"
-
I was 4, I got it in preschool.
-
I had just turned 6. I was in kindergarten and I got it around Christmas. Lots of kids in my class wound up getting it. All my classmates drew me get well cards though.
-
Never had it!
-
I was 2!! It was a very mild case & I get scared I could get it again because it was *SO* mild
-
I got them on my 1st Birthday. Happy Birthday to me?
-
6- during the summer, from someone at the day camp
-
I believe I was 5... Musta been traumatizing because I remember putting on tons of caladryl and sitting in front of the ac.
-
Eek. I hate to say it but I still have never had them....makes me nervous because now if I get it in the future it could be deadly. But ive had the vaccines....
-
5. I loved getting school work at home and the cards from my classmates. I was the first of about half my kindergarten class to come down with it.
-
@MrsBrewer: same here! DH has never had it either...I should make sure he's had the vaccines. I'm nervous if/when LO gets it...
-
I got it on my 15th birthday! My two brothers, my mother and I all got it at the same time. It was kinda fun, we all just camped out on spare matresses in the living room and watched movies for a week. My mother ended up in hospital for a few days though, because she got them on her lungs. That was *not* fun.
-
20...I only got it because dh (bf at the time) had gotten shingles. I did his laundry. Totally sucked!
-
Fairly young, probably in 1st or 2nd grade? Few of my classmates had it so I eventually contracted it. It was so darn itchy!! I have a few scars from scratching and picking my chicken pox then at the scab that formed. Gross I know.
-
I was 6. It was during the summer & my dad took me out to the beach because he had heard that salt water was good for chicken pox. It totally helped with the itching! I'll try to remember that when we have kids with pox.
-
I was 5!
-
1st grade! I missed out on my classes' Holiday Play because of it.
-
I never got them... actually my brother didn't either even when my mom tried to "get it over with" by bringing me to my cousins house that had them. Years later I got the vaccine.
-
I was 4 or 5. My cousins and I all got them at the same time. I still have a couple scars on my torso from the really bad bumps.
-
I was pretty young as I don't remember, thankfully! But I do have scars on my chest and face from them, so I know I for sure had them!
-
I actually had it twice, once as a baby and then again in 1st grade.
-
2nd grade! I caught it from my little sister who had the over Christmas break when she was 5.
-
I think in Kindergarten?
-
probably young... I don't remember, but i know it is def. before 4
