I had chicken pox when I was 6. I had it quite bad so I'm told. My 3 children had it 6 years ago but I didn't get it again.
My nephew has it and the day he had a couple of spots (my sister was unsure) I was in close contact with him. The next day he came out in lots of spots.
The reason I'm worried is each time I get my bloods tested my neutrophils/white count is a bit low. Gp says not low enough that I'll be more susceptible to illness but still it concerns me. I get my bloods done every 3 months to keep an eye on my iron count. My white cells go up sometimes then others a bit low. I'm worried this means I could get chicken pox again, and I know it can be nasty in adults. My husband says I've the antibodies to fight it but in worried if my white cells are low then I could still get it:(( Does anyone know?
I've a blood test tomorrow as it happens, I feel extra worried now about the results. I really hope my white cells are normal this time. In January my neutrophils were 1.7.
