"Ive been told you only get chicken pocks once..."

Well yesterday my doctor told me that ive got them,even thought i haven had chicken pocks scine i was 3.

Im confused,im the only one i know thats gotten it twice.When i was 3 i got it really bad but it went away so there no way i could have it now...

Its defenetly chicken pocks,ive got the itchy spots and everything.

I dont understand....

I would hate to have chicken pox again, especially at this age, it gets worse as you get older.

If you've got spots all over then it's chicken pox...

If you only got a band of spots thenit's shingles...

I got it twice which is VERY unlucky!

Dude, you do only get chicken pocks once. But that is one form of it. Once you have had one form of it...... you dont get that form again. But you could get other forms of chiken pocks again.

Understand?

There are 3 (three) forms of chicken pox, all very similar. It is possible to get it more than once but it's uncommon.

Guess you're just unlucky - don't scratch!
