Yes, it kind of does.

I talked to the nurse about it and she said it is more of a concern if I'm around kids often. I checked with H and G has been immunized, so that is not a concern. But I do spend a lot of time with my niece, who I think is too young to be immunized yet. She starts daycare next week so she may have more of a chance of being exposed to things like chicken pox.

How old is your niece?

I honestly wouldn't bother with it. If you are largely immune, your changes of a flair up are so slim that the cost/benefit doesn't work out.

[link] TEPPY. FOR YOU.

You know, I personally know that I would probably blow it off. But everyone has a different situation. It seems so unlikely that you would suddenly get chicken pox after years of not but maybe it's good to be really careful? Because you never know...

Infertility totally sucks no matter what.

Plei, she was born in September, so nearly 5 months old.

Stephanie. I am leaning in that direction, but, for obvious reasons, risk of birth defects, is a phrase that is pretty much always going to freak me out. Fwiw, my results were 1.06 and immunity is at 1.10.

I am generally pro vaccination, but that seems pretty close to immune to me.

Yeah, also, this may reassure you some: [link]

As may this: [link]

My MMR had gone completely tits up, which I didn't discover till I was actually pregnant. Most of the issues from any ailment that can cause birth defects are confined to the first 20 weeks of gestation, even the really serious ones like rubella.

I don't have any advice about chicken pox. I did get it as an adult and had no idea how I was exposed.

I wish Teppy's event had NO HUGS! Like No CAPES! And I also wish people would respect other people's boundaries. On the tire issue, in Second Life I did hear from someone working as an SL escort that she had a client who liked to be run over. It was a text based scenario, but his whole thing was being run over by a car and having tire marks on him (but he was injected with nanintes and didn't die!). She also had a client who did an RP scene where he turned into a zombie during sex, but she was supposed to be having such a good time she kept going and tried not to get bitten. While he said "grrraahhhggg" and stuff to her.

Thanks, Plei, those links are helpful. I definitely has chicken pox, during April vacation in 7th grade after having bee exposed to it a lot when I was really little and never getting it. I had a very mild case though.
