I do everything I can to stay warm, and my symptoms are better in the warm months than cold. I live in a very hot area of the country now that it's summer, and I ridiculously carry sweaters or jackets anywhere where I might have to spend a prolonged amount of time in cold air conditioning. I learned that after doing everything I could to not shiver in the dentist's chair.  |
I get very cold too but I also think I may actually have bad circulation because my fingers will turn purple sometimes in the office. Have you ever had problems triggered by drinking a cold drink? (when i am in the office and cold already and drink from the water coolers - which are chilled- this often causes the stinging pain). I also sometimes have problems with the heat - except this causes a sensation of water running down my legs. I just never know what things are symptoms because they are such a mish mash of reactions.
