Raynaud's phenomenon

A cold winter's day
Nice and relaxing right?
Not for me.

Pain. Cold. Numb.
Loss of blood circulation in my thumb.
Cold weather is relaxing, right?
Not for me. Never for me!

Middle of an exam.
Pressure running high.
Got too stressed,
Now I can't feel my fingers.

Spend a couple minutes
Regaining circulation in my finger.
Now I'm running out of time to finish my exam.

Go to see the doctor
They say I have Raynaud's phenomenon.
A diagnosis!
A blessed curse!

I have an answer but...
I shall suffer forever.
