cold hands, cold feet???
| Wed, 03-23-2005 - 10:58am |
hi, i'm new here, or a lurker rather. this might be kind of a weird question but my hands and feet are always cold. i saw a post that was in regards to eating and their hands or feet would get cold after they ate, mine isn't really that, they are just cold all the time. i have also noticed that even when i am exercising and sweating a lot, my body still feels cool and sort of clammy. i take a lot of spinning classes and if any of you have ever taken those, i'm sure you know, you are dripping sweat by the time you are done so i would find it kind of unusual that my body is still cold. anyway, no big deal, i just hate being cold, i have had my space heater on under my desk all morning and i'm still freezing!

I really don't know for sure but the first thought that came to mind for me was poor circulation. I have also heard and think I experience myself that it could be peri-menopausal??? I have
Well, welcome!!
This made me laugh:
"Working with vibrating equipment (like a jackhammer)"
As opposed to other types of vibrating equipment such as......
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, jackhammer.
too funny about the jackhammer, or other vibrating equipment, lol.
i have been tested for having a hypothyroid problem. i have several other symptoms when it comes to this, i know they test the TSH level and something else which my doctor tested both. i have been told that these tests aren't always that accurate but i wouldn't know what else to do. i do have a pretty low body temperature. a friend of mine who has a hypothyroid problem told me to take my temp. one morning when i first woke up in the morning before getting out of bed and i'm thinking it was around 94 or 95 degrees. it's been a while ago since i did it so i can't remember what it was now.
if you have any other suggestions for avenues to pursue with this, please let me know.
i would love any further information that you could give. i haven't talked to my friend in a while but i need to give her a call because she had pretty much guaranteed i had a thyroid problem with all the symptoms i had and said that she had a doctor to refer me to if mine said i didn't have a thyroid problem.
i am actually finally losing some weight but not much, it's due to spinning 4 times a week and one other day of cardio, weight training probably 3 days a week. i haven't been eating at night past 7 or 8 PM, i think the other night i ate a piece of grilled chicken at like 8PM but that's all i've had that late in the evening. i drink lots of water and even with all of the exercising, i am exhausted all the time, i can barely keep my eyes open past 9:30PM anymore and i get plenty of sleep.
anyway, it's nice to get to know you and i do appreciate anything you can give me. please keep in mind, i'm lactose intolerant as well ;) i still love cheese, i just try to stay away from it. i don't usually get anything with soy so that's good, i did have a soy chai tea a couple of weeks ago and can't remember how it affected me but i didn't drink much of it. i really mostly just drink water.
