I’m not sure where this topic belongs. I have Raynaud’s disease. I very very often have extremely ice cold feet. Not just cold, but I feel like I am walking on blocks of ice. Once they get cold it is nearly important to warm them unless I soak in a warm bathtub. Getting cold is not just from being outdoors on a cold day. I can just be in the house and with no apparent cause my feet turn very cold. Does anyone else have this problem? I realize it isn’t much of a problem compared to others.

I typed the word impossible in my previous message, but my not so smart phone changed it to important.

Hi there! You caught my attention. Last March I was tested for Raynauds but ended by being diagnosed with Chilblains. My feet were frozen all the time which was nothing new but they were also turning all shades of red and purple, sometimes greyish. Sores began breaking out terribly and itching was a whole other level than anything I had ever experienced. I also had been diagnosed withSmall Fiber Poly Neuropathy in February so when I asked my neurologist he just looked at my feet and said...SFPN. By my own research, Raynauds also made alot of sense. I have learned to keep my feet (and hands) extra warm and not let them freeze. Don't quickly put them in hot shower or bath. Transition of temps is very important. Im still freaked out about how my feet looked and felt during this time and the colors they continue to turn. Would love to share pictures but don't want to offend anyone. I have been so curious though about others situations. I hope your Raynauds is under control as best can be and thanks for mentioning it.
