Feeling ice cold
I’ve written this but nobody seems to answer. I feel so clued legs and hands I need to go outside to get warm. When I ask someone if I feel cold they’ll say NO
Hi,
!
I'm sorry your question hasn't seemed to get much traction in the past. So, I want to make sure I am understanding you correctly. Your hands and legs will randomly feel too cold and you need to go outside to warm up, right? Do you notice any other symptoms or a build up to this problem (tingling, discolored skin, pain, etc)? Does it only happen in air conditioned spaces or in the summer? Does going outside fix the problem every time?
Best, Erin, Team Member.It’s mainly my legs r very cold .when I’m in AC. Going outside helps but can’t stay out too long bc it’s hot.
, hmmmm. Interesting. My immediate thought was you may be dealing with Raynaud's, which is why I was asking those questions. However, your symptoms don't sound much like Raynaud's. Has your doctor offered any suggestion as to what's going on? I mean, the temperature sensitivity could definitely be tied to your MS, but I hesitate to say that for sure. One thing to keep in mind any other medications you may be taking (like blood thinners) and other health conditions you may have. Also, hormones can play a part in our temperature sensitivity, so if you are a woman of a certain age going through menopause or being post menopausal, you may find your tolerance for the heat and cold to be greatly reduced. I know many women, regardless of age, have to bring space heaters into their office spaces in the summer because the AC is set so low.
As you can probably tell, I honestly have no clue what is causing your cold legs! I wish I did have some brilliant answer and I hope other community members see your post and can at least chime in with some empathy or tips!
I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but I hope it helps a bit to know that your question matters to this community.
Best, Erin, Team Member.I understand whhat you are saying. I have to do the same thing sometimes. This happened the other day to me. I had to shut the ac off for a while. My hubbs was hot but I couldn't get warm for anything. It was worse in my legs but was my whole body this time. Only new treatment I'm taking is allergy injections. It's like my body doesn't regulate temperature.
