Claudia and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Blood Circulation
So the temperature has tanked here and OH MY GOD I AM SO FREAKING COLD
My hands can’t handle this, yo. My hands can barely handle 40-degree weather, let alone teens or negatives.
I don’t know how I used to go on 15-mile walks in like -15 degrees back in like 2018/2019. I suspect doing so is what’s destroyed my fingers, though. They are SO sensitive to cold now it’s actually kind of scary.
I should probably go to the doctor and see if I actually have Raynaud’s (even though I don’t get the color-changing skin) or if there’s something else going on.
My FREAKING FINGERS HURT SO MUCH
I think I’ve somehow permanently damaged the nerves in my fingers from exposing them to too much cold over the past several years.
Like…it wasn’t that cold today and I had my big gloves, but by the time I got home my fingers hurt so, so badly from being cold.
Like…to the point where I couldn’t even really move them because they hurt so much.
It used to be the case that they didn’t feel like that unless I spent five hours in SUPER cold weather, but I guess it doesn’t take that much anymore.
I’ve actually wondered if I have primary Raynaud’s, but I don’t have the characteristic skin color changes. So who knows.
Super fun.
