Over here pretty much everyone gets them as a child. I didn't. I waited until I was 34, which turned out to be a very bad decision.
For about 3-5 days I suffered so badly, it was sheer horror. I never felt so sick in my whole life. And my whole body, especially my face, looked just ridiculous, the doctors could hardly believe it was just normal chicken pox.
Luckily, after 3-5 absolutely horrible days, I quickly felt a lot better. But it took several weeks until people were no longer staring at me, and months until I looked almost normal again.
So yes, from my experience, it really is a lot worse when you're older.
