6 months after Micro ETS, Life has changed so much

>> "I no longer need to give myself the run down of all the possible things that could - and inevitably would - go wrong while out in the public, whether for social purposes, business or otherwise.
>>
>> If I run into someone on the street or the grocery store, I actually get to enjoy the encounter without a second though about myself as opposed to prior to the surgery when I would notice my face starting to feel really hot while people looked at me very strangely, many asking what was wrong or if I was sick.
>>
>> Also, my fingers/hands no longer lose color and go numb or are chronic shades of purple and blue. In severe weather (I live in New York) one or two fingers might turn white, but it has to be extreme conditions. Prior to the surgery if it dipped below 70 or the sun went behind the clouds I would lose all color in my hands and they would be essentially useless because I had minimal feeling in my hands (similar to if one had been sitting on their hands and had them "fall asleep") and would struggle excessively to do things such as get keys out of my purse or be able to properly use them. I felt terrified because I could hardly do the simplest of tasks while outdoors the majority of the time. It was paralyzing.
No compensatory sweating either."
