February is Raynaud’s Awareness Month, and since we’re officially into the second week, it’s the perfect time to pivot from "What is it?" to "What does it actually feel like?"
Whether you’re a seasoned "warrior" or someone who just realised why their fingers turn ghostly white in the frozen food aisle, this post is for you.
Raynaud’s is often dismissed as just having poor circulation, but for those living with it, it’s a daily game of strategy. It’s about:
The Color Spectrum: Watching your skin transition from white (ischemia) to blue (deoxygenation) to a painful bright red (rubor).
The "Invisible" Trigger: It isn't just winter; a sudden blast of AC or holding a cold drink can trigger a flare.
The Thaw: That tingling, "pins and needles" sensation as blood flow finally returns.
Drop a ❄️ in the comments if you’ve already had a flare today, or tag a friend who needs to know why you're always stealing their coffee for warmth!
