I went to see the doctor and he touched my hand and recoiled from the cold and from the colour (they were blue). He declared that I have *insert dramatic music here* Raynaud's Phenomenon! oh joy. He told me to look it up on the internet. Was he implying that I am an internet junky?
He was surprised to hear that I have had this happening since I was in high school. He said he would write a prescription out for me. He opened my chart and freaked out a bit at my last blood pressure reading. Guess what, I have a low BP reading and the drug he wants me to take has a side effect of reducing blood pressure. He wrote me the prescription, told me to take 1/2 a pill if I feel dizzy. He also wrote a prescription for the heating pads to put in my mittens and socks.
I feel like an old lady, blue and cold and about to keel over from the lack of blood flowing to my extremities, sipping tea to warm my bones. :(
