DD has chicken pox and my old CP scars are itching. Is this usual?

[Shitemum]

I had CP 28 years ago! Is exposure to the virus making them itch in a sort of 'cell-memory' way or am I itching just because I know she is itching?

Scratch ....scratch....

bump

All right. Is it possible to get CP again?

Yes, My DD got it again - she had three spots before and now has lots of scars, and I had it also this time round, having had only one spot when I was a baby.

I was floored by exhaustion this time round and even though DD was sick and poorly I took to my bed. If you have the same symptoms as your DC then I think you might have got it again.. otherwise the itchy-scratchy show might have something to do with it -
Monkey see Monkey do!

might be worth your while going to the GP and getting a blood test done if you really want to know?

Hope you're feeling better soon.

also know someone who got it twice

hope you haven't, shitemum!

zazen - Thanks
I was 12 when I got it and I got it bad.
Will just have to wait aand see...
