Finding yourself unbearably attracted to me? Allow me to post some photos to cure you of this affliction.
So I suffer from something called Raynaud’s syndrome which is a somewhat common, not very serious circulation condition where when it’s really cold the capillaries in my extremities shut down, allowing me to complain a lot. Also, my fingers and toes go numb and lose color. I should pretty much always wear gloves however sometimes I don’t, which makes my parents yell at me from across the country. But the other day I was wearing gloves and it still happened in one finger, and in a way that was more uncomfortable than usual, prompting me to flop my waxen hand around in an attempt to get the blood to pump back into it, which was in vain, though I imagine I looked pretty cool. When I got home I decided to take a picture of it, in a desperate bid for sympathy and attention. Here’s the underside of my bloodless index finger.
So then I put my hand under warm water to heat it up and then I popped it in the microwave for 20 secs and seasoned it to taste.
Oh, the other weird color thing about Raynaud’s is when the capillaries open up again your fingers turn blue and then red. Or the order can be reversed. Or it can be just one of the colors. It’s very patriotic. Here’s blue:
By the way, my hand is glistening because it’s a little wet in this photo, not because I’m Edward Cullen from the Twilight books and movies whom we all know sparkles in the sun. Or maybe I am and I don’t know? But instead of sparkling in the sun I shimmer in the shower? Let’s add this up: My fingers turn white and icy, which is definitely a vampire trait. Also, the glistening as seen above. Hm.
I guess that’s all I have to say. If you happen to know of any super warm gloves, let me know.
That is just SUPER AWESOME! And it's also kinda freaky! You can buy gloves that have electrics to keep your fingers warm, but it is also better to wear mittens so all of your fingers stay toasty together. I also guess that you can't touch anyone with your hands because they must feel like icicles!
Like THAT'S gonna repel me! You're gonna have to do better than that! Now if you had like an extra chromosome, then I'd be a little concerned. But Reynaud's Syndrome? All I gotta do is just strike a match to your phalanges and presto, you're cured.

At least you don't look like an actress in a zombie movie. I like the way this affliction is pronounced “ray-NOHZ,” which led me to think that Alison could possibly be Rudolph's sister (as in her nose turns red). I read that taking medicines (recreational drugs?), using vibrating power tools (really Alison!) for several years, smoking (yuck!), or having frostbite (please dress warmly) may also be a cause for this affliction.
You should use a Carex Bed Buddy Heat Therapy Kit.
Can you do that with other colors? I want to call you Skittlefingers.
I love the name “Skittlefingers”
Crush just got deeper, damnit!
Nice going Allison ,now people are more tuned on by you.
Yep, that did it!
Totally cured of any and all crush-like symptoms I may have had.
I feel nothing now.
lol
We should swap photos and anecdotes. My brother's dog bit my thumb off while fighting with my dog (both Siberian huskies). My re-attached appendage turns all sorts of entertaining colors. And since half of it has no sensation, I could brand it with a soldering iron w/o pain.
This just makes you more unique
love your shower curtain! oh wait…

Well, you know the old saying… bloodless hands, warm heart. I agree with Boink.. it's SUPER AWESOME!
That must be some kind of oversensitivity to cold, because all people lose blood flow to their extremities in very cold conditions. That's the body's normal reaction to restrict blood flow and protect the major organs (heart, lungs, etc). The Mythbusters did a segment on it a while ago. They were actually testing whether alcohol can help keep you warm in really cold temperatures (it doesn't). But they took temperature measurements on various parts of their bodies and you could see how dramatically blood flow to the arms and legs shuts down.

I get the feeling Alison did this post just to get more guys to love her! She is smart and knows how to manipulate male emotions, methinks!
I also wanted to add… Alison has super tiny hands!!! They are like little kiddie hands!
“If the physician told you untruly you might have Asperger’s rather than Reynaud’s, you would be in greater shock to a false diagnosis but later it would prompt you to become a nobel prize winning scientist. Imagine that Dr. ALison Rosen P.H.D……..”
Neither your lack of showering, funny slippers, topical treatment needs or this strange skin thing are a turn off! Good try again Rosen!

For the record, I do shower. Sometimes.
You do!?!?!!? Now that's a turn off then!
When I was in the military, I spent about 3 weeks sleeping in the snow (yes that sucked) and discovered that I had this condition….but it was referred to as something else…it affected my face and hands…even when If I went inside a building for an hour or more, my face would still be red and discolored. I just can't remember what it was called back then but definitely not Reynaud’s syndrome.

A clue to the photo where you unveil your dual 'we're number one' hand gestures in your Friday Red Eye pic section.Your index fingers appear to be taking on lifes of their own! I recommend you rent the movie 'Idle Hands' immediately (you know..the horror/comedy flick where the main character's hand becomes possessed) as you may be suffering from the same and you need to be informed!…cept it would be 'Idle Index Fingers' which actually was the original title of the film..since it was 'based upon real events'…but you know how things work once Hollywood sinks their idle hands into them! So the good news is that your probably not a vampire..the bad news is that you might be possessed by the fingers of a former murderer. By the way, you'll need to stop off at the nearest marijuana collective if your going to watch that movie (it's a must smoke out watch)…If you can't qualify for a medical card and you get pulled over by the police who write you a ticket for possession..you can say 'no duh' just before your possessed index fingers plunge into his heart.
