When I was about 18 years old, just out of high school, my body started to move more against me than it ever had before. I was, and am, allergic to a lot of things, sure, but this...this was different.
   I worked at a vet clinic in Colleyville, Texas. And it all started when I washed my hands. Yeah...something that simple. Working at a vet clinic you tend to wash your hands a lot from, well let's just say gross stuff. I had just gotten done with reading a fecal, yes...I said it...reading poo...it's a dirty job, reading poo...but somebody has to do it so we can tell you if Mr. Fluffles has any worms or parasites we need to treat him for.    Now that I cleared up why I was looking at poo, let's continue with my story. Anyways...as I washed my hands with cold water, because, well...that's just what I turn on when I wash my hands, well used too anyways. My hands, more my fingers started to feel funny...they were, itchy...and turning a bit white. I stopped and dried my hands and examined them. They itched more. I rubbed them together, scratching them a bit, puzzled. And then welts started to show up. It looked like hives, or mosquito bites all over my hand, and it felt like it too. Hmm...well I am allergic to some breeds of dog, mostly just the short haired breeds, and well I had just been helping the nurses with a boxer...but this...this was different...
   Each day, it got worse when I washed my hands. The welts showed up, they itched, they blotched with white spots, they even began to swell and I began to lose a bit of feeling in my fingers...This. Is. Not. Normal!
    One of the girls I worked with was in school to be a human nurse and I told her about my hands and what was going on. She thought it was weird at first then mentioned about something called, 'Raynaud's' and for the life of me I couldn't remember if it was Raynaud's or Reynald's, which are two completely different things. But I got online and I started searching. I saw horrible pictures of BLUE fingers and toes and even FROSTBITE symptoms! I was now scared. I needed to figure this out. I didn't know how to explain it just yet to a doctor, I wasn't sure about what was causing it besides washing my hands, so...I started to do experiments on myself to see if it was this Raynaud's thing...er whatever it was...
