I even had a trial make up, so good luck to them :P
Day 1 (Sunday), morning - high fever and a few "pimples" on my back
I even had Lara check my back to see the pimples and counted them as four. As the day progressed, I realized I had a few more "pimples" on my head and neck and legs, and wondered what weird illness struck me this time.
Day 1 (Sunday) afternoon - still with fever and the "pimples" are really weird
I asked Tita Star to check my back since I already doubted the rashes were pimples. She said it might be chickenpox (bulutong tubig). Scared. The internet scared me more, with all the write ups about adult chickenpox being more difficult and potentially leads to complications. We went to the doctor, but the doctor's not around.
Day 2 (Monday) - check up
Still with fever, but less paracetamol intake. The doctor gave me acycrovil and anti-histamine for this ordeal. Very uncomfortable, especially with a high fever. I had to send an e-mail for work, after which my fever went up. So really no work until I've fully recovered.
Day 3 (Tuesday) - panic, still uncomfortable
I've scratched a couple of rashes last Sunday on my neck, and by this time those two look bad. So I went again to see the doctor, but the doctor wasn't there, but the assistant said "that's the real chickenpox." Oh well.
Day 4 (Wednesday) - really bored, a bit better, but still very uncomfortable
Time is really slow when you have nothing to do. The rashes are all itchy and yucky. The medicine helped contain the virus as there were only a few rashes on my body (not as few as I want them to be, but that only few are visible to me.) No paracetamol intake for the day. Oh, check up with the doctor again and she gave me antibiotics to prevent infection. Some rashes are about to burst (and so eeecky, whatever that means.) Rashes on my head gave me a difficult time to lie in bed, but I still had a good sleep.
Day 5 (Thursday) - really bored, feeling better, itchier, looks yuck
Due to boredom, I'm tempted to work...not! I was really tempted to work especially since my workmate got loads of work due to my absence. But I know I'll get tired if I work and might get a fever again, so no, I'll take a rest.
I take off my glasses when I go to the bathroom so I won't see my face clearly. The rashes on my face are just so big and look really ugly (they're about to burst, I guess.) I try not to look at my other rashes. Good thing most are concentrated on my back, and only a few on my arms and legs. Bad thing that the order of concentration is back-neck/head/face-tummy-legs-arms. I have to go the dermatologist after I've recovered (and harmless, wrt the virus, to other people) - I'm getting married in about six weeks (bad timing, chickenpox, but better than have it on December!)
Day 6 - tomorrow
