Feeling Cold

Hands. Really cold dependeding on time of year. I noticed this starting a couple of years before I was diagnosed.
 
I can't bear being cold and never could. Even as a kid I had a thermometer in my bedroom! :D At the moment though I'm always too hot, Mum, being 82, has the bungalow like a greenhouse phew. I keep a kitchen roll nearby to wipe my brow.

Hope you get sorted.
 
Generally, if I have not had a carb pick me up then I get cold, usually a coffee with a bit of milk is enough to pick me up. But I'm like a yo yo with a jumper at work!

Where i really suffer is my hands, the cold is painfully cold. I have to put on gloves when I start driving the car in the morning as the cold steering wheel is too painful to touch. I keep gloves with me at all times. My circulation is excellent. I think it's more early onset of arthritis?
