Insurance won't cover it unless you are over 50, I think.

I know people who had it recently who are much younger than me. It almost seems as if it's epidemic and many of the folks I know who have had it are in their 30s and even 20s.

I am starting the antivirals today, rash just started yesterday and it's a 72 hour window on the meds. I'm not in pain.....yet, and I do hope I have a mild case. My chicken pox was awful when I was 16 so maybe I'm getting a break here, LOL?
