Chicken Pox?

I had to have a 2nd blood draw for the Varicella virus, because my first test said that I tested positive for Chicken Pox.  Well my 2nd blood draw also said that I have Chicken Pox.  Has anyone else had this happen? Did it prevent you from anything, or did you have to do something different?

Not to mention now every time I get a mosquito bite, I start freaking out that I am having a breakout of Chicken Pox.  :o

I did have them when I was in the 2nd grade.  My RE said it was strange that my blood work showed that I actively had Chicken Pox, but I do not have any symptoms. I will see what he says when I see him again, but just wondering if it had happened to anyone else? 



  


Re: Chicken Pox?

  • Gosh, I have first hand experience, but I do know that some people carry the virus but don't break out with any pox. I wish I had more information to help you.
    I don't know if having the active virus will prevent you from attempting to get pregnant or not, but I know that pregnant women have to avoid chicken pox. I'm a teacher and when I was pregnant with DD, it was a big deal when a kid in a different class came down with it. He wasn't vaccinated and neither was his brother - who was in my class at the time - so I had to be really careful and get checked frequently because if the mother gets it, it can affect the baby or cause a miscarriage.
    If your RE doesn't seem to have any answers, I'd definitely consult your GP because you'll probably want to get that taken care of right away so it doesn't take too much, if any, of your time ttc.
    Good luck!!

  • Thank you for the response... My nurse just said as long as I don't have any symptoms I will be okay.  I'm thinking maybe I am just a carrier for it, and it just sits dormant in my blood.  



      


  • Yes, I'm sure you're good! :)
