I have inherited EM, so I’ve actually had it all my life. However, being raised by East Asian parents, they held much skepticism against Western medication. Therefore, I went untreated and undiagnosed. That’s where I began my journey of “What the heck is wrong with me?” I went to my pediatrician. She sent me to the podiatrist. Her diagnosed me with periphal neuropathy and Livido Reticularis, and eventually sent me to the rheumatologist. There, I was finally diagnosed with Reyanuds and EM. He prescribed me Diltizem and recommended aspirin. It’s not really making the flaring go away. I just feel so helpless right now. I had to quit marching band, something that I love, because my flares became unbearable. Nobody understands, they say it’s all in my head and to suck it up. In need of support.
