Oh man, chicken pox has to be one of the worst things ever. I got it when I was about fifteen, and didn't listen to the "don't scratch" warnings... I now have scars on my face and arms. If I recall, baking soda may help the itchiness. Try mixing a bit into a paste and see if it does any good for you. If it does, throw a box in the bath an soak yourself. Another thing that might help is Benadryl cream. It's similar to hydrocortisone cream in effect, but made of different stuff.
Good luck, and don't scratch!
