Hi there,

I was wondering if some of you have been thru the
Chicken Pox with the kids and if there is any homemade
remedies to help them ...? Thanks ahead ...

Desperate in Holland,

Plenty of oatmeal baths (4-6 baths a day).  I would take an old
knee-high nylon and put 1/2 cup of old-fashioned oats (not instant) in
the nylon and tie it off.  Then toss the oatmeal nylon bag into a luke
warm bath.  Katerina loved it because she could squish the bag in the
water and the oatmeal felt good on her skin.

Please excuse the quality. It is under construction and I am still
learning.  :-)

Good luck.

It is available in Canada too, but very expensive and not covered.  There is
talk about getting it covered though, so we will see.  In the meantime, my
kids will just have to endure the virus like kids in other countries.

Here it is not covered also, it is an elective vaccine.
Cost was 60 shequels each,  about 13 US dollars.
Worth it if you ask me.

Hi Terri,

I dont think is even available in Holland. I found out about the vaccine
thru internet in American websites. here is not even mentioned.
We had a great home remedy from Briggitte and i have found some
other ones ...
It has been going beter than we expected with two chicken pox kids.
No much fever and they have not been (after all) that sick .. they keep
playing around like normal...

Gr,

Mirethy

I remember my bout with chicken pox about 30 years ago and agree that it is
not fun but this too shall pass.

Here is is an elective vaccine and you have to ask for it and pay yourself.
but the cost was not prohibitive at all.
Can you do something like that in Holland at all or is it really NOT
available?

I would send some but it is VERY tempurature sensitive

Hi Jack,

First of all, thanks for offering to send some. In which country are you?
And if i was you, and the vaccine was only 13 USD, I would do the same.
If i am by the doctor I'll ask information about it but I have never heard
here anything about the vaccine, as I said to Terri, I found out the vaccine
existed after my girls had it thru some internet pages...

Gr,

Mirethy
