My 5 year old niece overseas has developed flu-like symptoms and now after a few days there are fluid filled blisters appearing on her arms, legs, belly. We’re thinking it’s chickenpox (she’ll be seen by a doc tomorrow). Any parents here whose kids has chickenpox, how long did it last and did you have to give any meds to your kids? We have an upcoming trip a week from now and so hoping we can still make it

Have you googled hand foot mouth?

Agreed. Just learned about this with my grands. Its very contagious.

A week should be alright - you should wait until all the lesions have either crusted over or she hasn’t developed any new ones for a day or two

Sounds like it could be hand, foot, and mouth. Sorry to hear she's sick!

Probably best to go to AA meeting or see a doctor. Not sure if a social platform for professionals is a good way to use this.

I’m around 21 weeks and have been dealing with a lot of leg, tailbone, back, and general muscle pain.

Currently I’m switching every hour or so between my kneeling chair and standing.

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
