I am so upset, not only have I broken bones in my wrist, but I have Chicken Pox!
Does anyone know, what is the worse stage?

{gentle hugs} that is!
I had chicken pox when I was about 18, and the worst stage was when the rash was at it's peak as I simply couldn't bare not to scratch, but it was so painful when I did.
Oatmeal baths, benedryl, calamine lotion, cool showers, I used them all to get through it.
I'm sending you

OHMIGOD!!! You poor thing. Big big hugs to you. That's horrible. I don't know what is the worst, however, I know the itching is the worst, so heed Miranda's advice and get all those things. Or have someone get it for you. Try not to scratch/pick at them, because they do leave some ugly scars.
Hugs hugs hugs.....from far far away. ;)
Aw......I'm so sorry to hear that! Is it pox or shingles? A friend of mine and myself had this discussion a couple of weeks ago; can adults get the chicken pox or is it referred to as shingles, or are shingles just something we (might) get as adults if we've had chicken pox as a kid?
Anyways....back to you~
Take care, heed MommyMiranda's advice- she's a woman full of wisdom! Perhaps pick up a pair of mittens too ;-)

Here's some info:
As for stages-
The chickenpox rash passes through a number of stages.
I would think that the stage where "PAPULES" form is when the itchiness begins, but I don't know for sure. None of the sites I checked had a note about the itchiness factor. But here's some info on Controlling Itching

Hmmm, I can't remember now which part was the worst, but as the other ladies have said - don't pick or scratch! I still have a few scars from not heeding that advice! LOL
