View 5 RepliesMolluscum Contagiosum :: Why Don't They Make Vaccine For It?
My daughter has had this virus for about 6 weeks now. The doctor told me they would go away on their own and that we just had to let it run its course. At this point she only had about 3. She now has over 20 of these nasty little bumps under her armpit and yesterday I discovered a few tiny ones on her torso. I have started using ACV and in the course of two days the 2 biggest ones have turned black. I believe this is a good sign that the molluscum is now dead! I followed most people's advice and soaked cotton wool in ACV and then secured it on the spot with a plaster. She said it stings a little, but nothing major. Fingers crossed the rest of them respond in this way. My only concern is that her skin does look a little red, but that could easily be because of all the plasters she has stuck on her.
Why don't they make a vaccine for this horrid virus?

Though vaccine is useless for us now it is coming in my mind y not take it weekly along with my interferon shots. Can it make any difference? Has this thing ever studied on immune change. Any idea or previous study? We have done several self experiments so can this be tried as well but some info on this if any?

In Ukraine, the dog has bitten me. At the end of treatment, 6 doses of rabies vaccine is recommended in the report. They make 4 dose in Ukraine and I come to my home (Istanbul) and 5. dose is finished. But total five doses of vaccine are made in Turkey. I do not understand why they want to dose 6. I have a healthy body. 6. dose is important? OR optional?
View 2 RepliesChickenpox :: Age 37
Ive just caught it off my two young daughters (who both still have it). I paid to have a private jab £125 to vaccinate me against chicken pox as soon as my girls developed it. Anyway, a week later i felt very tired, spent all of wednesday in bed, temperature of 37.9c, went work on thursday, hot and sweaty (thinking it was the jab), friday, got up feeling rough, covered in spots (jab was too late).
Id say i had about 1-2 thousand spots, my head was one red carpet. My body, back, arms, and tops of my legs are all covered, tho not as dense. My doctor gave me a sick note for two weeks (but thats only after i told him i didnt want to self cert). But thats all he gave me. No pills, lotion, nothing.
Anyway, most days have been spent in bed with brief periods with the screaming girls. My wife has been wonderful, coping with it all, just giving me space and making sure i drink!
Oddly, the big spots have got bigger and the small ones seem to be retreating, but it just looks like really bad acne. I have also found that the areas i didnt put calmine lotion on are much more comfortable and a lot less inflamed... I left my chest alone altogether and ive hardly noticed it.
Wish id never put any on my face and head.
Im taking lemsip twice a day and any old painkillers i can find before i go bed.
I cannot see that i will be in any shape to go work in 10 days, not unless they start scabbing over soon.
I spent the first few days really worrying about the scars i may get on my face, now i couldnt care less, i just want it over asap, i want to be able to eat without pain, sit, lie down, blink without feeling the huge blisters on my eylids touching, pick things up without the blisters on my fingers screaming.
Other than that im starting to feel ok, im going to go round the house later and remove all the mirrors.
My advice, only put calomine lotion on if you need to, keep cool - avoid sweating if poss. And avoid reading stuff on the internet, this site is the exception, i want to hear from someone on day 14...
Chickenpox :: Age 49
I have just come back from the Dr. and told it 'may' be CP. On Sunday (2 days ago), I noticed two spots and thought they may be bites. Thought nothing of it, but on Monday, these spots turned into 6 different blisters around the same area. I have been given calamine lotion.
It doesn't help that, as I going through my menopause, I get the odd flush (which of course could be temperature change re: CP)
I have been generally feeling unwell, but we had a hectic few days a couple of weeks ago for a big event at work and put it down to that, along with the change of weather.
It also doesn't help that I take medication for blood pressure and therefore, the odd headache may be due to that, or it may be due to CP.

I am 49 and have contracted chicken pox from goodness knows where. Having been teaching for 10 years and already having it as a child I am flabbergasted to have caught it again and seem to have caught it during half term away from children! There is only one child in our school that seems to have been off with it recently but apparently according to my doctor, it is rife in our local area at present!. I am into week 5 and still coming out in spots!! I am depressed, fed up, worried about my job and totally wiped out!! Has anyone out there had spots coming out after 4 - 5 weeks? I thought it was all supposed to be over in 3? I am now on antiviral tablets but they just make me feel sick and don't seem to be doing anything!

View 1 RepliesPityriasis Rosea Or Chickenpox?
For the last week I have been feeling out of sorts..loss of appetite, exhaustion, sickness.. then I developed a rash starting on my stomach and spreading now to my back, chest, tops of arms and legs. It starts of as a blister looking rash and is VERY itchy!!! Some of the bumps have scabbed over and some are looking flaky.
Anyway visited GP yesterday who thought it was one of two things, PR or chicken pox.. he couldn't give me an exact diagnosis but has signed me off for a week to rest.. any ideas what it could be? Is there anything that distinguishes between the two?
