Hey, just testing to see what comments look like, since it's been a couple years since I've sprung for the "Supergold" membership. So there it is...

Hey Jim, I think you probably mean 'chicken pox' and not smallpox -- yes? I hate to diagnose, but have you ruled out eczema, contact allergy or heat rash as causes for your rash? Shingles is a true vexation, and from the folks I know who have suffered from it (3), PAIN is one of the major symptoms. I personally opted to have the immunization that is being recommended for folks 60 and older at my last physical. At any rate, hydrocortisone is a good first step. Hope it clears up soon!

Kathy, I knew I had something, but not what, exactly - Thanks for helping me "clear things up". I was just weirded out by it (by "it", I mean the rash, not my childhood illness) - with no clear cause I could discern - and leapt to conclusions. But whatever-it-is, it is clearing up. And yeah - financially, if I can spring for the Shingles vaccine when the time comes, I definitely will.
