Abbey was only 2 when she developed it and she faught it for over two months. She was a very sick little girl, she just layed around and didn't want to move or eat. <strong>Lifecruiser: Yes, it can be very dangerous. I'm glad to hear that she recovered.

I think my sister had scarlet fever when she was 3 or 4. I need to check with my Dad because my Mum is now gone. She is 3 years younger than me. I think you and I are the same age. 1959? Interesting read. <strong>Lifecruiser: Yes, I'm a '59, the very best year of production ;-)</strong> What a cute little girl you were!

I remember when I was about 4 years old being in hospital with pneumonia for a period of time. My biggest memory of that time was sitting by the window on my own watching for visitors. It was so lonely, but everyone came with gifts, which helped. I suppose as a child it's hard to understand what's going on. Thanks for an interesting post. <strong>Lifecruiser: Yes, as a child you accept the situation at that time, but end up analyzing it when you grow up :-)</strong> Thank goodness you got through your ordeal OK.

Not the best memories but still something from long ago. My cousin (the one I went on the camping trip with) was very sick in her high school years and spent a whole year out. She was in the hospital for about 2 months then home in bed forever! At least it seem that way to me! She had tutors so she wouldn't fall behind in school and some physical therepy too. She was pretty sick with it! I do worry when the sore throat season starts because if care isn't taken it can lead to more compliations! And to day just like in your story, people don't keep kids home long enough to heal! Thanks for stopping by today and for your kind words. I am sorry you have had such a bad time with migraines. I have them now and then but know what causes mine so I am very very careful most of the time! I hope your sweetie gets to feeling better soon, and you too! Have a wonderful week! <strong>Lifecruiser: Yes, it felt like it took for ages for me too. It's a long time when you're a kid! Thanks for the well sishes, we got some pain killers going...</strong> Great story for sharing. Not the best memories but still something from long ago.

There were no antibiotics then, and I only remember bedrest and being isolated in our home. The doctor came to our house. This is quite a memory! My MM is up. <strong>Lifecruiser: Maybe it was different if you lived in a big city or not?

I was such a Daddy's Girl that it would have killed me! Did you have any side effects from having scarlet fever? I have heard that it can cause heart problems. <strong>Lifecruiser: Yes, it really was. I was most Mom's girl. Other from the weight problem, there aren't any confirmed side effects, though I've always hade ache in my joints ever after that.
