Current medical status: Started 6 weeks ago, both great toes were cold then went away only to return and has migrated to other toes except for little toes, thus far. Intensity has increased and is becoming painful.
Current medical treatment: Saw my neurologist today for a routine exam for MS and he examined both feet and toes and states toes are definately cold, not blue with great pulse, etc. 3 weeks ago had my yearly physical and blood sugar came back normal.
Given the symptoms you provided (multiple sclerosis, cold toes, not blue), you might experiencing neuropathy due to the damage multiple sclerosis causes to certain nerves. One of the complications of multiple sclerosis is actually damaging nerves. In this case, multiple sclerosis might have damaged the nerves that affect the small blood vessels that supply the toes with blood.
The cold toes can also be caused by diabetes, but your laboratory tests do not show hyperglycemia.
