Hi folks following my post regarding low vit d and fibromyalgia I have some new symptoms which I'm finding a bit concerning. I have extreme cold to hands and feet. Now some may say that when this happens it's because blood is going elsewhere to your organs so does this mean that they are not working properly? The rest of me feels lukewarm but my hands and feet are icy cold . The heating is up full and my husband thinks I've got a weird body!

    Is it cold where you live? If it is, then your body is trying to keep your organs healthy and warm so they don't freeze you to death. You do not have a weird body. It's just the blood keeping you organs warm. Hope this helps??

      hi Mia no it's not cold the heating was on full at 20 degrees. My husband didn't mean anything it's just his way of saying he worries about me and doesn't understand what's going on with me
