Got to find amusement in it somewhere
My bro facebooked me from Italy saying "Only just checked facebook, didn't realise there was a pox on you.." Made me laugh.

Also told a friend I had a fever, to which he promptly responded I needed more cowbell.

It does suck as an adult. Strangely it's not been that itchy, but it's pretty debilitating, with the fever, lack of sleep, headache, bit of nausea....

Lots of sources say that you can get it more than once. I think it's mainly if you don't get it badly enough to build up immunity or something. Friend of mine has had it three times.
