Anyone had chicken pox twice?

[Poxyhouse]

Just curious.. apparently google says it is rare!? My children are having a dose right now and I have got symptoms tonight. I had it as a child. Is it possible to have it twice?

Yes, Dd had it twice. The first time quit mildly, not so much the second time!

Yes I had it twice, second time was at around 12 years old though and had a lot more spots!

My kids kid, very mild first time around only a few spots age 2, had it again age 5 and ended up in hospital.

My eldest DC got it for a second time very mildly (4 spots, that was it) when younger DC had it. I've heard if you have a mild infection first time it can mean your immunity isn't as strong upon re-exposure

My DD (3yrs) has it right now and I'm sure she had it as a baby. She's pretty well covered and has a fever with it too.

My two have had it twice. Once at 18mths and 32mth then again at 4 and 5. Unbelievable 🤦🏻‍♀️

My eldest Dd has had it twice. First time age 3 - absolutely covered in it. Second time when youngest siblings had it. She had fewer pox that time but was more unwell and fatigued for several weeks.

Should have added she was 12 when she got it the second time.

I had it about age 7, then again in my early 20s. Second time round was worse but not awful, but the woman I sat next to at work was about four weeks pregnant and I remember it causing a bit of a stir at the time.

Yes , i was 15 the first time and 33 the second time

Yes

Yes my DS had it twice- first very mild aged about 1. Second time worse aged about 3. He then got shingles aged 7 and was really poorly.

DS3 has had it three times. The first two were really mild cases, just a few spots. The last time he had a lot more spots.

One of the parents from my DC's school has no immunity to chicken pox, she's had it about 30 times.

Yes - had a dose as a child and then caught it from my DD. Absolutely knocked me for six as an adult.

I had chickenpox as an adult, caught it off my daughter. Please get your thyroid checked because it wrecked mine!

Yes two of mine did. Both had it milder the second time. They were both checked by doctor to confirm as one is immunocompromised. The Dr said it's rare but happens. Just unlucky.

Yeah I had a mild case with a few spots when little and a few years later when my younger sister caught it I did a second time. Second time was worse spots EVERYWHERE! GP diagnosed both as chickenpox and were very surprised I'd already had it once
