    Was up til 3am with the youngest lad. He's got the chicken pox poor little devil and just couldn't get comfortable. We've a nice glider chair which is comfortable.... but it's not a bed!

    Anyways decided after mammy took over to order 2 chainsaw chains on Amazon, as you do! :D

    Do all kids get them at some stage,?

    Yeah he has then everywhere, including his mouth! He's only 10mths. His poor little backside and frontend is riiddled aswell. Heat of the nappy l guess. Putting him into cool bath with porridge seemed to give him best relief. Day 6 today. Not out of the woods yet
    Do people use calamine lotion anymore. I can still remember the smell of it.

    IANAD, but check out Phenergan, if suitable for that young age.

    Edit: Wikipedia says "Use is not recommended in those less than two years old due to potentially negative effects on breathing."

    Not your ornery onager

    Dozol has an antihistamine in it and can help them sleep too

    You're better off getting them as a kid as they can be shingles if you get them when you're an adult

    When I young my brother got them and my Mam made sure not to segregate him from me and my other brother. We both got them within a few days. A friend also sent her two children over to our house to play with us so they would get them.

    Chicken Pox doesn't guarantee you won't get shingles, I've a nephew that got both and only about ten years apart

    Horrible dose. I got them in my thirties because when I got them as a toddler the antibodies didn't kick in. Funny thing was the doctor also said that it would give me some immunity to shingles as I got chicken pox as an adult.

    We used this stuff in the bath when the kids here had them... altho I don’t think they had them bad compared to other people...

    I always thought that shingles was something you got when you already had the chicken pox

    I think you're right, it stays dormant in your system until you're run down, I got chicken pox at twenty one. I was really sick with them
    I was going out with a school teacher when chicken pox was in her school

    Women can have pox parties. If someone's child gets chicken pox the rest of the ladies can bring their kids around in the hope of infecting them. Get it out of the way.

    Women in agriculture, this bugs me. It's not a new thing sure our grannies were milking cows etc. Why make a deal of it. Doesn't matter who does the job as long as it's done.
    I get annoyed anytime I read about the new fangled concept of women in agriculture. It's like we dropped down from the sky and are the latest phenomenon :(

    Same in a lot of things, we'll soon have a female quota in politics,
    I think the number of female County Chairpersons !!!!!! shows that it doesn't matter male or female as long as you want it bad enough.
    Women In Agriculture is actually segregating them

    That's true, wrangler.

    And then they'll be dismissed as only there because they're female and having to get the job despite X being better but he's only a man.
