Anyone ever heard of a 25 year old getting chickenpox? This really sucks.

So you never had it as a kid then?, once you had it once your immune for life. Its worse when your an adult and takes longer to heal up, some parents purposfully let their children get infected from other kids so theyre immune at an early age.
I had it when i was little and i remember i was too itchy to sleep, well annoying.

Well, I thought I did. But now I know it was the measles I had. I guess I just need to wait for it to clear up. It's very annoying and I'm even uglier than usual at the moment. LOL ;D

Man, doesn't that mean you get shingles? Try drinking straight lemon juice from a freshly squeezed lemon a few times a day (mixed with 1-2 cups of water) and eat more plain yogurt with no sugar and lots of good bacteria in it.

Yeah, I thought shingles was the adult version of Chicken Pox. Either way, it's not that uncommon. Sorry to hear about it, though. I had it really badly when I was a kid. Still got loads of pock marks.

A 22 years old friend had it a few years back. Don't forget to take pictures!

Stan, Will that help now I already have it? Or is that a preventative thing?

Nah, it's not quite as simple as that - it's very very unusual to get the exact strain of chicken pox twice - but it is possible. Shingles is when you've had chicken pox as a child and the virus stays in your system but lies dormant then reamerges as shingles later on. So if you had chicken pox before it could be shingle, but if you haven't had chicken pox before it's impossible for this to be shingles. Basically, if you aint had it before - it's chicken pox!!
