Adult Chicken pox

Hey guys last week I underwent a pretty difficult time. I am 20 years old and I didn't get chicken pox in my childhood so I got it now. Just wanted to share my experience. I basically had blisters all over my body more than 400 in total. I had fever of about 104^C continuously for about 5 days and my normal dose of medicine was not working so I had to take 3 tablets of paracetamol at a time. The itchiness very bad. This things are normal symptoms of adult chicken pox. Don't worry if these are the only symptoms you have. But if you have severe headache, neck stiffness, difficulty breathing, difficulty to look at light, completely red skin then please visit a doctor as it might be some of the complications. Complications as usually common with adult chickenpox. Peace. Tc

It is well known that chicken pox in adults is far worse than the childhood illness and also in adults it often manifests as shingles, neither is great.
