Default Cold Feet & Hands

I feel like I'm thawing out now that is warmer weather. With small fiber PN will warmer weather help me more than a cold climate. I'm not using my wheelchair as much if I don't overdo it. Can anybody relate to this and have moved to Fla. ect.

I find I feel best between about 50 degrees and 85 degrees.

Anything higher than 85 and my feet start burning. Anything cold and I hurt and get stiff (hypothyroid issues). High humidity is hard for me too.

Some PNers have specific temps they prefer. But most of us
get increased pain and other symptoms when the weather changes quickly with LOW barometric pressures coming in.
I think Florida would be agony for me. Lots of storms there, and high humidity.

I live in Texas. It gets hot and humid for a few months in summer. I just stay cool inside and all of the shops/restaurants are cool so it is fine.

Fall, winter and spring are perfect. Depends where in Texas. It can get very cold in west and north Texas but I am in the s. east.

Florida is simular but less cold in winter. All season except summer are great!

I'm just like Mrs.D -- cold weather is awful. High humidity is bad too, and I live in Michigan where the humidity is terrible due to the Lakes on all sides. Summer is best, unless it gets into the mid 80s to 90's which it does often in the summer. Also, barometric changes raise cain with me.

Seems like my feet are always cold, and I've had my circulation checked too, and it's fine -- but the feet STILL are cold. Oh well. At least I have feet, right?

God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee

I'm in Florida too. Summers are hot and hotter. Humid, yeah, that too. Winters? Ahhhhh

Even when its cold here, for us, maybe in the 40s at night, I keep a heating pad on my bed for my frozen feet. I turn it on low, it has a timer on it, goes off in 2 hours. Its easier for me to cool off than warm up any day.

I have had my hands and especially my feet flare up with cold feelings even in warm weather the last couple of years. It is not a fun experience.

I recently read that magnesium can improve these symptoms. After replacing my 500 mg dose of magnesium oxide with more readily absorpable types, my symptoms have improved dramatically. Honestly, I'm blown away at how much better I feel.

I know this might not work for everyone, but after about a month of changing my type of magnesium supplements the results really can't be disputed.

I suggest anyone with these symptoms who doesn't already take a good source of magnesium try it.

Good luck.

Happy for you that the mag is working! It is amazing how long people live and forget how they could really feel by fixing this one simple nutrient!

Our diet in US is so low in magnesium, commonly!

okkkk.
isnt that great

what is the type of magnesium you take please??
i take a chelated version 500mg at night with some calcium and i used to add zince but stopped the latter. cant remember why

i have cold feet on *bad* days. burning hot cold feet. otherwise they are just painful and burning hot.
my hands will go abnormally cold with cold water or cold weather or picking up frozen things. our winters here are not terrible like north american ones, but by night in the winter i am usually careful about the water temps and might wear gloves to pick up frozen anything

i have temperature regulation problems too so i tend to not feel the cold except in my hands and feet but the summer is a problem for me

maybe my magnesium is helping me and i dont know it?????

sooo........you reckon barometric pressure Mrs D.
i decided that was probably a trigger for me..... but unless i keep track of it as i once did for my son for a science thing......it is so variable around here that it is tricky to keep track of if the pain is worse before or after or during the change

I haven't been on here in a while, but I live in florida and want to say that YES the barometric pressure/storms coming in definitely causes chaos... I always feel that I'm getting sick, something isn't right, and then we'll get a storm and I'll be okay when the weather is back to normal. When the seasons change... and in Florida this can be a lot!
