I had to look it up to see what the symptoms were. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is the other name for anyone else that didn't know.
DS had it and I know a couple other babies on this board got it. It's miserable and I'm sorry you caught it too. Hope it's a quick case for all of you.
The crappy thing about them having to stay home from daycare is they're not contagious with the blisters, it's before the blisters that they're contagious.
Hi 2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)! I'm sorry for your LO (and you) getting it. (Fingers crossed) I haven't had to deal with this disease but it sounds terrible. Get well soon!
Yup we got that too. Luckily it wasn't too bad for him and cleared up in a few days. I ended up catching it too and it was horrible. I went to the Dr thinking I had strep throat. They did the test to be sure and it was negative. I then said,"oh yeah, my son just had hand, foot, mouth disease" and the Dr said that was it. Mine also went away after a few days, but they were a rough few days.
I hate all the illness from daycare, but then I figure, well hopefully he won't get as sick at school. Maybe.

I can't walk!!! It hurts I guess it's common for moms to get it too. Here are his legs on day 5. (Yesterday). If he can't go back to school Wednesday I'm gonna be pissed. He gave it to his cousins it seems. This is crazyyyyyy

2mrsks (mrs&mrsk) sorry to hear you're dealing with it, DD had it earlier this year, and I caught it too. The worst of it seemed to pass pretty quickly - the fever was really only about a day for us, but the rash took a while to clear up. It definitely spreads very easily in daycare, I think at least half of her class had it at the same time.
The rash didn't seem to bother her, but like you, I had it on my feet and it hurt to walk. I used calamine lotion on it which provided some relief.
