Hand Foot and Mouth Disease in Adults (HFMD): My Experience

I’m not a doctor. This is not medical advice. This is just my lived experience. 


TRIGGER WARNING: This post is going to be gross, filled with symptoms and pictures, not sugarcoated. I’m putting it out there for others who could use this story.

Most of what I read online said that it would be mild in adults. Well, it wasn’t for me. It was awful. The most sick I’ve ever been. At one point, I thought I was going to be hospitalized. 


So, my son started at a new daycare. He must have picked up the disease there. He’s fine. He got through the worst of it in a few days, the rest within a week. But, I got it from him.
