actually felt better when the spots came out because the fever and headache
before it was so bad.
I am having some kind of reaction to pregnancy right now and have this
hideous rash over my legs that itches worse than chicken pox! I can't take
anything for it and am using only calamine lotion. It gets worse in heat --
lovely with summer coming on here!

I had camped with a family in central New Mexico (the family of my sponsoring
teacher while I was student teaching!) and I was twenty. I saw the mom of
the family Monday at the university (high school had ended; it was the week
before finals at the university) and asked her if there were possibly
chiggers where we camped(In the DIRT!? I doubted it) and showed her my
"bites." There were only about 12 or 18 of them, on my back and side, which
seemed insectish. Oooooh.... she said, sorry; chicken pox.
I was 20 years old.
My mom had tried to expose me when my sister and cousins had them--three
cases in the house at once and I played, ate, slept and all with them, but
missed getting it.
I went to finals anyway, and just sat in the back far from other people. One
day I had a message from the health center when I got back from a test saying
I needed to quarantine myself and not go to classes. Yeah, right. I was a
senior who lived out of town. I needed to graduate and get out of there.
I never broke out past that one (big, but sparse) patch of pox, so I lucked
out in that way.
All my kids had them naturally at fairly young ages, so they lucked out too.

classes at univ of TN -- a total of about 380 students! I felt like crap
and kept wanting to faint and I've no idea how many people I infected:)
What a send off for summer holidays.

Is it heat-rash? Have you thought about corn-starch
dusted on and wear light, long, cotton pants, to keep
sweaty legs from rubbing together. Corn starch is more
soothing than calamine. And doesn't have that awful
odor.
Rolled oats in a sock is great. But you might want to
alternate with a vinegar bath. Don't want any
secondary infections like the damn yeasties moving in.

occassion you can get them more than one time in
certain circumstances (like a mild first case.) I was
sick like you were and had them in my ears, on my
scalp, palms, bottoms of my feet and everywhere in
between. I was down for 10 weeks with them. Now i
have one small white scar, at the hairline on my
forehead.

Hmm some good ideas -- will ty and find corn starch. Hadn't thought of
yeast problems. Geez that would be an additonal spot of fun:)
I may also head to one of the little Indian shops here that do Ayurverdic
medicines (although I draw the line at the urinology)

I had to respond when I saw the subject line.
I had a friend when I was about thirteen who called these "whelps"---as in
"she had whelps on her arm"---I always pictured dozens of tiny puppies
attached to her arms! <BEG> I wonder whether she still says this. <g>

It's pretty popular in India (prime minister calls it a miracle cure).
It involves taking the first urine in the morning and drinking it or
pouring it on infected/sore bits. In some cases you are instructed to boil
the urine, skim off the scum and then drink it.
There are claims it cures everything from gangrene to AIDS to schizophrenia.
I use acupuncture, homeopathy, herbs etc but this is one thing that I just
can't take to:)

Ooooh. This I could understand in some cases. Like when you get a sea
urchin's spines in your foot or something. The acid helps dissolve the spine
and neutralize the poison.
But drink it, yucko. That I could not do.
My sis had to have my cousing pee on her foot in Hawaii when she stepped on a
Sea Urchin, but that's only because we'd forgotten the vinegar.
The locals recommended the pee cure.

I have first heard about drinking your first urine of day when I
was in Brazil, 1000 km fm the Athantic ocean and 60 km fm the
Paraguay border. It was more than 10 years ago. There was this
friend of my mother doing it every day. And she said she was not
the only one in that community she lived in. Fm the 60 family of
Japanese immigrant settlers, she is the only one that still lives
there and plants coffee beans. Most of the settlers moved to
cities to live with their children and the remain 3 other
families are growing soybeans. I should remember to ask my
mother if this friend of her is still drinking the urine.
Then I have heard about this "healthy" rotine many times here in
Japan too. I have seen a tribe there in Africa that runs to the
back of their cows and bulls when they begin to urinate and wash
their faces and hair. I can not remember if they drank it. If
it is proven that the first urine is good for your healthy I
might begin doing it. It costs nothing and it is only a matter
of acquiring a brand new value. At least I am glad that I know
that in I have my own liquid in case of an emergency!
.......
dd found my new glasses broken. We were at the grass in front of
the library enjoying the sunshine. I had paid US$300,00 for the
glasses.
I said " I had left them on the top of that heavy bag of books.
The bag must have been dragged and the glasses must have gone
under it..." dd had dragged the bag near her to pick up a book.
"Whose fault was it?" she asked.
"What do you think", I asked.
"Everybody", she said.
"Yes, it was my fault to leave the glasses over the bag and yours
too for not looking carefully when pulling the bag." I said.
We smiled to each other and then I said. "Oh, now we have to go
to store to have them re-done."

Well we aren't in Kashmir but it's similar weather. It's "only" about 115
right now -- really heats up in July and August. We had bad winds yesterday
and the hot sand was stinging as it hit your face. Completely covering your
head and face seems like a good idea at times. That was the original reason
people wore head and face scarves-- now it's become religious.
Thanks for thinking of us.

Yes....I thought the weather might be similar, at
least the temp., just now. Once June it was 110F for
a few weeks when I was preganant with DS3, Moses. It
was easily 120 inside our non-airconditioned house.
That seemed most unpleasant to me. (I placed a
tempered glass, of iced tea, on a table....it exploded
from the contrast of temperatures. Chunks of glass
everywhere.Big noise, too.) So you anticipate higher
temps and humidity later? When are you due? Going from
airconditioning to outdoor heat and back can't be
healthy....are you still working at the university?
How is the rash? My XDH had an allergy to extreem
temperatures. Heat or cold, or more to sudden
changes. Big itchy hives (welts) they would only last
a short time, but he was very uncomfortable for a
while. It was a draft defferment, in the olden days
when we had a military draft (USA). What did you find
out about your welts?
We figured that about the scarves. Similar to food
prohibitons. Originally it was something
needed....then it evolved.
