Yea mate, had it a few years back when I was 18.
When I went to the doctors the first time he said that I could take a vaccination and while it wouldn't stop the chicken pox since I already had it, it would definately reduce the duration and the severity of it, BUT it would reduce you bodies immunity to the virus....so I passed on the vaccination as I dont want the bloody things again!
Took about 2 weeks to stop being as itchy as all hell, there are bath additives available which will help reduce the itchyness, availble from your local chemist, they do actually work, but only for a few hours.
Took about a month for most of the dots to go away fully.
A few tips, wearing a beanie helped me sleep as it was always in contact with my head, so...not so itchy. Change your sheets every couple of days, drink lotsa water to keep your body temp down, as it's a virus and you generally get pretty hot in the first week.
Anyway that's all I can remember, got 4 weeks off work, missed stocktake(yes!!!) hopefully now mostly immune for later in life.
