My hands and feet, especially, get
(somehow!!) colder than room temperature. They feel like the cold is
radiating outward from the bones and get so cold that they ache
horribly (and my husband says they feel as cold as ice cubes). As
soon as the temperature gets below 72, I turn on my electric blanket.
Right now I'm looking for electric socks to help me keep my feet from
hurting so badly with the cold.


Do your fingers/toes change color when they get cold, especially, do
they get blue? I'm thinking of Reynaud's disease, here.

No, not really - they get a tinge of blue from the veins showing through (I
have fish-belly white skin).

I wondered that, too, but I couldn't remember the name of the
condition.

Can't it also be if they go extremely white?

I don't know enough about it, and I'm not sure it matters. It would just
be a name for the condition, as I don't think there's any particular
treatment, other than just getting the hands warm.

I thought if they go extremely white you're getting frostbite. That
happened to Dennis' ears one time in Yellowknife. He was out shovelling
snow on a sunny day and didn't realise that it was -30C out. Dumbass!
