they didnt give you any medication for it???  they gave me something, i cant remember the name of it...but ithink it is the same stuff they give to herpes patients...it is supposed to make it go away quicker   damn i wish i could remember the name of it...i only took it for 7 days and wham i was 100% better...valtrex??? maybe   but ask your doc.about it,,,dont worry about the benadryl, really dont...you are fine with it... and sorry the shots i dont know about so i cant help you on that...sorry...but as your doctor about it...it really helped...i was really only really really sick for about 5 days...

the  doctor said there were no rooms left in the hospital and since i live alone i would be better there and a nurse would come everyday to check on me he said it would take about 14 days and i was to go see her on monday ,none of my family ever had it before ,my mom says the only childhood deasese i ever had was scarlet fever ,so far im just totally going crazy with the ich so i have been taking a lot of benedril and sleeing all the time i dont think i would of woke up if the nurse had not come over.but im getting nervous that i will be addicted to the benadril and use it all the time to sleep,im going to cambodia in november to adopt a baby and if i cant cleen up i wont be able to do it and that worries me so much and know with this chicken pox im really worried also i need to get my next heatitis shot on the 15th i dont know know if they will give it to me and it has to be excat timing for them ,and when i get back i get another one i have 2 shots already i need one more before i leave i am sitting here going crazy i think im gonna lose my mind if i cant do this it will ruin me .snow

what did the doctor say for you to do?  he isnt going to admit you into the hosp.?  i was immediately admitted, and put into a type of "quarantine" (actually quite embarrassing) but the nurses and doctors had to be in full "bright yellow quarantine suits?" before they could come into my room and that was because of how dangerous it can be for the elderly, no i'm not calling YOU elderly but they had other elderly patients on the same floor as me and didnt want to transmit it to their own patients... so please watch your temp. and pay attention to how you lungs feel...if they start to feel heavy, thats not a good sign....hope you get well quick with no complications...keep me posted

hey, how old are you? chickenpox can be extremely dangerous for anyone over their mid teens in age, thats why i was hospitalized...i had chickenpox in my mouth, throat and lungs...so be very very careful...and pay attention to how you are feeling...i also ended up with pnemonia also because of the pox...i was so sick i was delerious...really, i didnt think i had chickenpox at first, so i thought flu, i almost overdosed on tylenol and advil because i was so delerious that i had forgotten that i had already taken some, so i was vomiting from that...uuuggghhh!!! it was just awful, and i have some scarring also, so be careful please get to a doc asap.  dont make the water in your bath too hot, luke warm is best, i also used oatmeal baths.

i dont blame you hun...i had a similar rash one while i was still doing hair...i suddenly out of the blue started getting this rash on my hands, arms, neck and toes...i went to a dermatoligist, and he said mine was a contact dermatitus, and gave me a cream. but yours sound a little different just because its on your belly and back, so definately check it out hun...unless you are using something new in your laundry? i am 40 now, i came down with the chickenpox at age 34 and was admitted to the hospital for 5 days...have you ever had chickenpox yet?  just something to throw out there to keep an eye on... keep me posted hun...

the benedryl wont effect your detox, its really nothing but an antihistimine to stop the itching, the meletonin is fine also...benedryl is an over the counter med and it may even help you get some sleep, its non-addictive so dont worry, just take some and give yourself some relief..where is the rash and what does it look like?

Hi Honey!

I have not heard of  rash, but there maybe someone here who has. What did the doc think the rash was from?
You better keep on eye on it. A rash is usually an allergic reaction to somthing. Like if you take a new med. Also, it can be from a spider bite, or other insect. If you notice a "red line" associated with the rash, you will need immediate medical attention.

Don't let it go too long.

Hope everything else is well. I miss seeing you!

Big hugs, IBK
