    HELP.. Developing Chicken Pox in late teen years?
    I need to know a couple things. I am in my late teens and have never had the chicken pox virus as a child. A couple of days to a week ago I have felt tired, drowsy,- basically sickly. Two days ago I developed some blisters/sores/, little red bumps every where like a rash and I feel just horrible... I am pretty sure I have the chicken pox but would like to know some things about me having this virus so late.. Like:

    - Are there any complications that I am susceptible to since I am late in this, and will they be bad?
    - What are some things I should do about this along the lines of healing?
    - what are some things I shouldn't do while I am infected with this virus?

    Your answers would help enormously.. Thank you.

    You should go to the doctor to verify if this is what you have.

    I finally see it now, and yes, I will visit the doctor tomorrow but I would like to know some kind of early info on the virus if possible.
