But I still maintain that it was relatively mild. Yes, there were a lot of scares, and yes, I was very ill, but except for the flares, I wasn't incapacitated. Weak and disabled, but not completely unable to do anything. I was never wheelchair bound. It wasn't until last year, for example, that the Renaud's became painful. Remember that book of kids' stories about being ill and the girl with Raynauds? I couldn't understand how it could possibly be painful (except for the rewarming), because I only had it mildly.
I am not... okay, I am downplaying how bad it was, but even you have to admit that except for the first crisis and then postpartum, it was never as bad as it could have been. Nor has it been as bad as it has been for others.
*hugs* I love you, and I'm sorry I gave you such stress, though. I now am positive that it was worse for you than for me.
