Itchy Pox

Arrgh. The lesions in the face and scalp are beginning to itch. I do not know if it is a good thing I do not have itch sensation from the upper chest downards. This may just accentuate the itch in the areas where I have sensation. I have been told not to scratch. Tell me, how is it possible not to scratch an itch? The two sores that I busted earlier are still hurting. Looks like they are going to be two deep scars after they have healed.

Wa Kena Chickenpox

Chicken pox at 43 years old and just two weeks before Chinese New Year. Just my luck. Well, I guess it is better to get infected now than around or during our wedding banquet. I have been running a fever since Monday. My last temperature was 38.3C 30 minutes ago. I busted two of the blisters on my right cheek not knowing what they were initially. The lesions are not healing yet and are hurting now. The other symptoms are abdominal pain, flatulance, eyes feeling like they are on fire, a heavy head and general sense of unease.
