xp,
I sympathize. I had the Chicken Pox at age 33 Man it sucked. Good thing Id already had the `V` operation
I got Shingles after that, and the Dr gave me Darvocet and Vicodin. If you are old enough, I recommend getting a bottle of Scotch and self medicating
Mine didnt itch, but it hurt...like pain ripples across my chest... so yeah..I know.
Chicken Pox and all those nasties are related to Herpes so most everyone has some kind of this one way or the other.
Hang in there buddy
