I feel for you man! I'm 43 now, but got the 'pox at 24 and it was absolutely horrible. I was out of work for 10days IIRC. They thought it was hysterical.
Pretty sure they immunize for it now. My 4 kids were.
First words out of the Dr.'s mouth were, "you never had Chicken Pox"? Then she went on to say she never saw anyone my age with it. I thought there was a shot at a prescription or something along those lines that might help, no cigar.
