    I can sympathise, I have Raynaud's disease which is where you fingers and toes go white and numb and painful and then when the blood comes back they burn and itch like hell for days sometimes.

    All I can suggest is get a really warm jacket, wear layers and you can get gloves and socks with silver in them which is supposed to keep the heat in, also always wear a hat and scarf and use those mini hot water bottle hand heater things, 1 in each pocket and keep your hands inside.

    You can buy electric socks too.

    You could take a thermal travel mug of hot tea with you when you have to go out to school etc.

    When you get back jump in the bath to heat yourself back up
