Good Times

It all started last Wednesday. Odd rash on the torso. Spread. and spread. and spread. and this weekend the lovely massive joint pain began.

I have Fifths disease.

Good times.  I highly do NOT recommend it.

Oh no!!! Teachers always get the weird illnesses from kids! I hope this goes away soon, get well!

Take care of yourself. Last spring, a round of fifth disease went through a local elementary school. Do kids at your school have it?

Ugh, it's no fun. My son had it and I had to keep him home for a number of days (can't remember how many). There was a pregnant teacher at the school, so they took no chances. Get better soon!

Thanks everyone!!

Girl - no kidding. we are the front line for every wave that goes through.

RTC - We had a small wave in Nov in concert with the H1N1 wave. We have had two students come down with it after me.

Tales - I warned DS2's teacher that I had it and the boy was exposed. She is due in March.

Jessie and Frugal - thanks so much

Half Dozen - welcome and thanks for finding me. I will have to take a wander over to your home too :-)

Wow, this sounds pretty serious :-(

It's surprising how many have not heard of it. I hadn't until a couple years ago. My mom hadn't nor had my oldest sister. Thanks for your thoughts everyone.
