Some doctors will accept you on your word that you have had the chicken pox. My David wasn't sure, so his doctor in Germany drew his blood and tested it for the varicella titre. He did have a titre, which meant he had varicella and the doctor noted it in his records.

8-30-05 Met David at a restaurant in Germany

3-28-06 David 'officially' proposed

4-26-06 I-129F mailed

9-25-06 Interview: APPROVED!

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

luckily my husband has a big crater on his forehead from his chickenpox. funny how when he was doing his initial medical the nurse asked if he has ever had chicken pox. then he said yes, she asked where the marks were... he had to point right in the middle of his forehead. between the eyebrows... the nurse was like, Oh... geez how could i have missed that.

My doc just asked me if I had chicken pox as a kid, and took me on my word. He then told me how the blood test was very expensive, and 99% of kids get chicken pox so my word was goo enough for him. Hopefully your doc will be as understanding.

I was made to have the Varicella injections anyway as the doctor said that otherwise a blood test would be required and it was just as easy to have the injections and it wouldn't hurt anything. The cost worked out the same either way with me.

I had the chicken pox 3 weeks before my medical and the doctor I went to did not want to say it was even though I spread it to two kids (whose doctors confirmed that they had the chicken pox) that were staying with me and I have a couple of craters on my forehead. I had to get the vaccine again or do the titre. I chose the vaccine because the minute that they gave me the shot I could get the vaccine supplement signed. Otherwise I would have had to wait on the results of the titre from the lab.

By the way, the doctor thought I had folliculitis which is a bacterial infection that cannot be passed on to anyone!!!

hey

i worked at a health depart for a long time doing case investigations (cases as in diseases), and its also what i got my masters degree for. ....... yeah really they have a degree for that!

first - varicella is not a disease that is even tracked by health departments. we dont even get notification of postive test results of them. so this is a very unimportant disease in the eyes of the government.

since i did not investigate varicella i might be a bit rusty. but this is what i can explain.

the doc will not give you the varicella vaccine right away.

first of all, the standard vaccine can only be given to someone in thier youth, not sure of the age cutoff range.

an adult has to high of a risk of having a reaction to it

the back up vaccine which can be given to anyone (i think anyone) is more $$$

so - the better solution (and that which most insurance comapnies require) is to do a cheap blood test (titre) and test your blood for varicella antigens. Antigens are the disease fighters in your blood - you only have antigens to disease you have had or diseases you have had vaccine for. so - by testing your blood they can tell if you have these varicella fighter antigens. if you dont - then they will proceed to the next option of using the $$$ vaccine.

so if you did have chicken pox as a kid then most likely your titre will show it.

however - if you have LOW antigen levels your doctor might advise you to have the vaccine as a booster as well.

The docs are not actually checking to see if you have had the disease or the vaccine. the intent is to make sure you cannot transmit the disease. so - if you have low antigen levels its possible you could have a slow response to the diseases if expsoed to it and thereby giving you time to transmit it as well. so - the doctors job is to sign off to the federal government that you are IMMUNE to the disease.

ok maybe a bit more than what you needed or wanted to know!

I really wonder, its so very wrong. Cant take chicken pot shot if you had it, and instead of checking it and proving with blood tests have it again harming yourself.

Well but no wonder, people here in US eat pills as candies, not thinking about reasons and solutions, choosing easy way, in lack of knowledges and no willing to look deeper.

P.S. I dramatically changed my husbands diet and made him quite to eat all this medicine and junk.

And no one could make me have shot if I know I had.

your misunderstanding

you cant take the chicken pox shot if you have had it because it would be an unnecessary risk to take. with each shot there is a possibility of having a reaction. so the doctor will first test your blood. this is to avoid taking the shot unless you absolultely need it.

sorry if my previous post confused you. however i think that you should hold off your comments that insult persons living in the US. have you not realized that we have the greatest track record for controlling diseases than any other country in the world.

by the way - if persons living in the US are so prone to eat pills as candy - why would you want to live/move here? seems as if you would prefer to live elsewhere.

im insulted by your comments - i will no longer read or respond to your posts.

And you hardly believe that here is greatest track record for diseases in all world? And all other countries live in caves and they cant be happy? I have great doubts about health care in USA.

I am good person, but I don't feel that I have to agree with everything here and I have my rights to value what is good and what is not so and have my own opinion.

And the reason I moved here is not America, but someone I love.

So far i think my personal hygienic needs and culture is much higher. People for example don't wash hands here before eating, and goes in theaters with coats on and walk with boots in room.
