A very interesting read from your perspective! Thank you so much for sharing. It sounds like a job that you genuinely enjoyed and that you took interest in the education of students. Even though medical students are bundles of nerves when working with SPs, we can tell when they truly care and enjoy the job - and most do.
There was one SP who helped me - on his own time - with some extra practice due to an impediment I had (I refused yo use extra time accommodations that were offered to me, and instead chose to practice more so I could finish within regular time limits). I should find a way to reach out to him and thank him again, since it's now been several years since I've last seen him. It's a great memory of someone who went out of their way to help. I believe he saw that I also cared to improve myself, which may have factored into his choice to help me.
Good tip with the Raynaud's - it's well-known to be associated with autoimmune conditions, although I'm not experienced enough with its prevalence to differentiate primary vs. secondary. Noteworthy enough to keep a close eye for further symptom development, however. I'm going to stick that one into the memory bank.
I love this story so much. I wish I could somehow work as a virtual /webcam SP. I would even volunteer to do it if it were a thing. ❤️🦄
Reynauds-there is a test using a microscope that can detect if there is vascular damage. I can't get anyone to run the test even vascular specialists. Like FFS just give me a microscope with a camera and some nail oil and I'll do it myself. In general primary reynauds is reynauds without an underlying condition .Drs in general don't test for underlying conditions and I have yet to meet a person with reynauds, even in exclusive reynauds groups who do not have an underlying condition. Most say the condition was dx years in some cases decades after(..
There is also new evidence Reynauds is a separate autoimmune condition itself....
I am not sure how it's taught in schools but drs seem to think Reynuads tends to happen after another dx like MS or something, or is a stand alone condition. In reality it's usually the first sign BEFORE the patient is diagnosed or even before the patient has many if any neuro/inflammatory sx. With most Reynauds patients being female and female patients less likely to even get the testing for other diseases(because drs do not believe us in general) it's kinda a clusterfuck.
And FFS stop saying (general not you personally lol )mottling and/or cyanosis is because women are cold in the middle of a heat wave in the summer. Yes my limbs are cold but that's because my blood is not flowing not because I am cold. I have never had this trigger being cold, only orthostatic stress.
