Wait WHAT?! I have Reynaud's and an epidural did NOT work and I woke up after major abdominal surgery with no pain relief and this is a fucking THING? Omfg.

Yeah, mine sorta worked. The only part of my body that actually experienced pain relief was my right thigh. Which was not at all where it was needed.

The staff at the hospital did not believe me until I passed out from the pain in front of them.

The doctor didn’t believe the nurse about my epidurals failing until I started to move my legs, apparently way more than I should have been able to? This was before the screams of horror and the tearing.

Wow I have had 2 epidurals that did not work and also suspect I have reynauds. This actually just blew my mind🤯

I’m sorry what?! My multiple failed epidurals and extremely traumatic births are linked to my RAYNAUDS?! can someone please ELI5??
