I have always suffered from cold hands and as a teenager when in a car etc I`d sit on them. Strangely enough, a cousin suffered too. Whether it runs in families I don`t know. However, both my parents had the warmest of hands. It is so unfair !
My Mum had Raynaurds
it got worse as she got older - in the end she had gloves to get things out of teh fridge
and especially the freezer
I am rather strange - if my hands - and especially my feet - get cold they hurt - but if I allow it to comeon slowly I can tolerate quite low temperatures easily
Overall, if I feel cold outside then I can easily ignore it and make it go away
just switch it off
I used to do that when I was a teacher - I was often put on corridor duty - and one of the parts of it was to help get the kids back inside to lessons after the end of break
I would wander round the nice warm corridors all break time - then go outside in just my shirt and tie (stop it you lot - I know who you are!!!) to get the kids inside at the end
in winter they would comment how I was looking quite happy in a shirt and tie when they were freezing in a polo shirt, jumper and coat
thing is - if I left it too long my core temperature would drop with no warning and I would start shivering
which is weird I think
