I have always been sensitive to cold in that if my ears get cold they hurt a lot and I lose all interest in what I am doing outside and I have to go back inside to warm up. This evening the temperature dropped into the low 60s and I was out jogging. After less than 10 minutes I was in so much pain my eyes were blurring and I was scared i'd pass out. The pain started in my ears and radiated to the back of my head and down into my throat. I have never in my life felt pain that bad. From talking with people as I was growing up, no one else seems to be bothered as much as I am when their ears get cold.

Does anyone know why I would be so sensitive? Is it something that can be prevented (other than with earmuffs and caps) or is it something that can be fixed? Can anyone else relate?
