Cold feet and hands from arthritis ? Posted: 04-28-04 06:17am
I always seem to have freezing cold feet
and hands, making my whole body feel
chilled. Sometimes they get so bad that
a toe will go numb and my feet turn
purple. I have always assumed it was bad
circulation but a freind told me that it
was a sign of arthritis. I am only 22
years old. I am open to any oppinions
and of advise, besides wearing gloves and
socks. Help please.

Hey, I have the whole cold feet/hands too.
I'm always wearing socks when I go to
bed. Alot of members of my family have
this too, and it hasn't turned into any
health problem at all, just more of an
annoyance. But just in case you might
want to go to your dr, becasue it is a
symptom of alot of things ex: hypo
thyroid, anemia, and low iron, etc, but if
anything a trip to your doc will put your
mind at ease!!! Take care

I really doubt that it is arthritis as
well. I hav a thyroid problem and I get
really extremeties as well. Well, they
used to be a lot worse when I lived on the
east coast but since I moved out west
things seem to have gotten better. I'm
sure a doctor could help. You should
check it out.

Try rubbing raw ginger onto your feet -
the oil will penetrate the skin and heats
you up from the inside out. Or grate
some ginger and put it in a warm bath and
steep for a while.
