Cold hands and feet

Post Reply New Topic

I ski. (An excellent sport for people from ouir planet as it involves minimum interaction with other carbon based life forms, just you the snow and the terrain, Unless you take a lesson or two). I used to need down mittens to keep my hands from freezing, and my toes also got very cold. I now ski with only cotton gloves, though occasionally I will add a liner if it is well below freezing or the runs, and thus the lifts are long.

The secret that I discovered is a good vitamin B complex. For various reasons I found that Shaklee works, and thus it is my preference. Also, since I started that, I have NEVER had use for chapstick as my lips never chap.

Yes! The last couple of days my hands and feet have been so cold they have been a bit painful, even indoors, and it isn't particularly cold here. (about 0c at nights, but that is normal for January.)

My skin all over is cold even if I feel warm inside. But my feet are something else, they usually don't feel like they belong to a living person.

My body temperature is low, it always comes up at 33-34c. And I have had my foot circulation tested and it is normal (foot hair is a sign of good circulation to your feet, as if you weren't getting enough blood supply there your body wouldn't waste energy growing superfluous hair, and going by that I have good blood supply to my feet!)

I tend to have warm hands and feet.

Warm hands and cold feet is the usual for me. It's because I have relatively poor circulation in my legs for my age and fitness level. Dunno why, maybe genetic thing. I wear insulated slippers at home all the time. If you have cold feet issues, those things are a god send. Toasty feet always. These ones:

They are actually intended for camping. I call them my moon boots. If they ever offer a white with black trim version I will be delighted. To look extra like moon boots.

My hands and feet are always toasty warm, even when they're exposed. They actually start steaming if it's cold enough outside!

I have cold hands and freezing feet. It could be related to being hypoglycemic.

It is weird. I post something that says I found a way to address the problem. So far, not a single person has said anything to the affect of "I tried your idea of a B supplement and it did / did not work. It is like posting here is akin to trying to talk to a wall. People see the first post, then say what they have to say. Maybe this aspergers thing is a form of narcicism --- No one else could possibly have anything to say that is as valuable as what I have to say. ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME .............

Well, I just read your idea less than thirty minutes ago, so I haven't had time to try it. Also, the original post asks a personal question. People answered it.

I only really notice my feet are cold when I take a shower. The hot water singes my feet, but not anything else.

Have you discussed this with a physician? temperature differentials in the extremities could be an indicator of a non trivial circulatory problem. By non trivial, I mean one that could progress to an early death. I am not saying that this is the case, but death IS natures way of telling that you ignored her earlier symptoms. Of course some symptoms are just an indicator of a harmlless personal wierdness, but if it were me, I would have it checked out, ESPECIALLY if I had some insurance or the costs were otherwise minor --- say less than a months rent.

its the case for me but then I have raynauds syndrome whcih is a circulation problem relating to extremities. NTs get it as well.

I used to have very cold hands and feet when I was younger and very thin. But since I moved to the US and got fatter, it got better.
I don't think it's related to Asperger's. I'm Neurotypical.

I do because I have Raynaud's Phenomenon. It has absolutely nothing to do with Aspergers.

I never knew AS could be related to it, but I have cold hands and feet occasionally. Usually it's just because my room is too cold (where I live central heating is rare as it doesn't get extremely cold in winter, though cold enough to get uncomfortable indoors, especially if you sit still for a lnog time).
