I'm kinda pissed now remembering getting chicken pox, because the vaccine for it only came out a few years after I had to suffer through that shit. I still have scars on my arms from the blisters.

    I did not get the chicken pox vaccine. My wife, born one year after me, did. I got chicken pox. All I remember was being ready itchy. No scars. A few years ago, got shingles. Noticed it too late to get pre-emptive meds. Stupid chicken pox. I wanted to cut my arm off. There was no relief. Arm and hand scarred. And it took a long time for all the feeling to come back to my fingers.
