Mine do when it's cold out. They get cold real easily than other people. I thought this was normal until my mother said something about it. I said to her don't other people's hands get cold and she said they do not as mine.


I went out in the snow today and my hands started to freeze already and it was only 25 degrees out. I had winter mittens on.

a person's ears, nose, and fingers will get cold faster than the rest of their body because your body pulls blood from those places to help warm the rest of your body. I read that in a magazine once.

Then I wonder why my mother made a big deal out of my hands getting cold easily if that happens to everybody. At least that explained why other peoples hands would stay warm while mine be cold. :?

my hands and feet are freezing no matter the time of year - I always just assumed it was a second-hand smoke symptom... or my body's apparent hate of its self... either or

My hands are cold sometimes but my feet are almost always cold. In fact at this very moment I'm wearing socks and thick bedroom slippers but my feet are still freezing!! :evil:

My hands get cold easily. I use to often wonder before I was diagnosed with AS, that the reason I couldnt concentrate or got confused easily was because I had bad circulation and not enough blood circulating to my brain.

Yeah, My hands get cold easily, I've got a pair of gloves now so it doesn't bother me much, but when I don't have them on my fingers go really really cold...

Yes, I use to have pairs of fine leather gloves. I don't know what happen to them. They was really expensive. I must have lost them.

I don't know about that, but I do know it is hell to type when my fingers are cold and stiff.

My hands look like a bit skinny and I think that they dont have the amount of fat, flesh or muscle between the skin and the bone that most people do, so my hands are quite suseptible to being affected by pain from lifting heavy and or skiny hard objects and the cold.

I hate when my fingers get cold because it makes it harder to use them, especially to play guitar =(

My feet get cold especially, but I figure that's just poor circulation...they fall asleep real easily, too.

Not sure if my hands actually become colder than other people's but they certainly LOOK
colder.They start to turn purple when most others are still a normal colour.

My hands are cold almost all the time except for warm summer days. Mom is always comparing them to the hands of a cadaver because I like getting them warm on her body.
