Chicken Pox – recurrent?

The friend I was just chatting to also said one of her other kids has come down with chicken pox despite having had the injections. In fact *three* of his class have come down with it and all of *them* also had the injections.

I’m wondering if the vaccine wasn’t quite as effective as we’d thought or is there another strain doing the rounds that will catch us all… regardless of the level of immunity we think we have.

I didn’t think you could get chicken pox twice – but who knows what could develop if a mutation happens?

ADHD ? Wassat?

Just had a call from a friend who told me her 6 year old child has just been prescribed Ritalin because she has 3 of the markers for ADHD.

I’m not one to argue with experts… once I’ve learned as much about their specialism as they have… and I don’t know anywhere near enough about either ADHD, *or* the effects/side effects of Ritalin to make any judgements on whether it’s the right way to go.

All I can say is it’s a shame. This kid is really nice. She has the sort of large blue eyes that when you look at her you want yours to ‘water’ with sympathy. She’s got a happy infectious smile and a lovely personality. Let’s hope she ‘grows out of it’.

Taking far longer than I thought to get my self back to work. We’ve had a lot going on including the ongoing saga of the landscaper… and we’ve had three kids to stay… and now it’s slightky eased :)

The house is still a mess, made worse by the kids who seemed hell bent on trashing the place – well they did until the youngest pulled a tv over on his foot and broke a bone… agghhh…!! I’ve made a start but it’s hard.

The depression has returned fuelled by my shifting off the diet. In fact I’ve even put 10 kiols back on. Hard to admit but there ya go.

I think the worst thing was the flu I’ve had. For almost two months I’ve been suffering ‘pre-flu’, the flu itself and then a recuperation which has seen cold like symptoms returning several times. I’m getting better but of course my health is still not 100%. At the lest I need to get back to the diet. Not sure how I’m going to *do* that… ell basically I don’t know.

Mayeb a good nights sleep would help??
