I had the chicken pox, but it was a very long time ago and I remember nothing from it (thankfully!) I seem to have handled it fine, even thought I was on liquid Cortef at the time (that was BEFORE Upjohn messed with the suspension, so it was still effective).......no scars, no extra heads or limbs, nothing like that. I don't know if I was stress dosed, but I'd guess that the same rules still apply as to fever and dosages. If she does have chicken pox....well, remember, this too shall pass!
