My daughter with CAH got chicken pox at 4 months old.  It was pretty horrible.  I got so stressed out after her birth that I developed shingle and actually GAVE her chicken pox.  How’s that for even more guilt?!  Anyway, it was not fun.  We did the oatmeal baths twice a day, a smeared her with Calamine lotion.  At night we would give her Benadryl as it helped her sleep.  (You don’t want to give oral benadryl plus a topical lotion with the same ingredients for anti itch as it will give them too  much of the meds.)  It took a full 2 weeks for the pox to stop erupting and a full month to be back to normal.  It was a hard month.  She had a very severe case.  Luckily, she was too young to scratch so she only has a couple of pox scars under her chin.  We only stress dosed her for the first few days as she had a fever.  I called her endo about the whole steroids thing, she said this is a replacement dose and doesn’t count.  Good luck.  I believe that the vaccine is setting our society up for big problems precisely because it is a short lived immunation if it works at all and then the person grows up and gets a severe case as an adult and it is much more problematic.  I also just read that it is cancelling out the natural effect of exposure now and then that keeps adults immune and is therefore also causing more cases of shingles.  (Hard to recap but that was the gist of it!)  Good luck!  Julia
