  • I did read about Coxsackie A6 but it doesn’t seem like my symptoms match.

    If adults getting it are asymptomatic, how do they know they have it? I always wonder how they get the data as asymptomatic people aren’t going to the doctor or getting diagnosed. They wouldn’t even be thinking they’re sick would they?

    I’ve had hand foot and mouth as a child and chicken pox twice too ☹️. The Mrs thinks my immune system might be weak as I had glandular fever last year as well. Not to mention covid a couple years ago.


  • I don’t know why all the online literature states that adult cases of hand foot and mouth disease are usually mild… it’s been hell for the last week. Googling other peoples experiences, most say they also had a terrible time.

    Spent most of the week unable to eat or drink due to the blisters in my mouth and throat. Even drinking water would send stabbing pains through my mouth. So dehydration and hunger on top of feeling horrible. Finally starting to recover yesterday being able to eat with only mild discomfort. I honestly preferred having covid to this, the spots and blisters on the hands and feet I can live with, but the mouth ones are insanely uncomfortable.




  • That’s a good thing I think right? She’s been like this since she started solids. She doesn’t even ask what it is she just wants it since someone else is eating it. Sometimes it doesn’t even occur to her that it’s something she doesn’t want or like, until after we’ve already made extra for her…

    The older one is the opposite, she MUST know what is in everything to decide whether she likes it or not, even before she has even tasted it 😒
