Ice cold!

[Tia1]

Yes, the temperature where I live has dropped 15 degrees in the last couple of days, but could my freezing feet and legs be from something more sinister?

I have been in the house for three hours with the heat blasting, thick socks, warm pants and my favorite blanket and I can not get warm. I am literally chilled to my bones, with my lower body being extreme.

I am waiting for my husband to come home to see if some food and some tea will help me thaw. I just don't feel right.

Wow, can't figure that one out. Sounds more like an illness such as the flu. How is it going today?

Trust your feelings, if you still don't feel right, contact your dr.

Thanks for your concern Paula and Patti. I'm still not sure what happened, but went through 2 and a half days of cold extremely painful legs, stiff also. No cold symptoms at all. (thankful for that) My legs still hurt a little but nothing like before.

I'm so glad you're feeling better! MS is so weird, it sure keeps you guessing as to what it's going to throw at you next.

Did they feel cold to the touch too? Could it be a circulation problem. Next time it happens call your doctor right away.

my wife always says that I could go outside in the winter and not melt the snow with my toes. It does not matter how warm or how old the temperature is, my feet are cold. I also have raynaudes, so I am not sure of the cause of my cold feet. I hope you get a handle on it. Good luck.

Hunterd, I feel for you. It seems like a small issue but for me it was so uncomfortable. I am so glad that the sensation went away.

According to my husband, my legs were normal temperature and I guess he should know, I asked him to check 8 or 10 times. I just could not wrap my mind around the fact there were no ice cycles or pools of ice water around.
