Cold hands and feet. Check the thyroid. (are you losing hair too??) But warning, if you go to a conventional doctor, they will test your blood and tell you your fine (which is the farthest thing from the truth, been there done that) You need to find a holistic type doctor who practices functional endocrinology. Must have proper saliva testing and hair analysis. Need good thyroid and adrenal support. May need westroid (natural thyroid meds) and may need IODINE, but must have knowledge about or have doctor with proper knowledge to load iodine) Also start taking organic coconut oil, that helps warm up the body and supports thyroid. Read the book "Living Well with Hypothyroidism: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You... That You Need to Know" Mary J. Shomon and Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome by James L. Wilson. But finding an educated and support holistic doctor is KEY. I suffered for years before understanding and getting the proper help. I now take westroid daily, (eat for thryoid and adrenal support) (i.e. iodine rich, natural C, etc...depends on your individual body chemistry, that is why it is important to test with right doctor). I can function and I have warm hands and feet again after working with a doctor who practices functional medicine....AND THAT WAS DONE ALL NATURALLY.
