Question Cold/Tingling Hands/Feet?

I'm 24 years old and for the last year (at least) my hands and feet are always cold...they almost never seem to be at a 'normal' temperature. My fingers have also been tingling and have had pins and needles and numbness. I saw a doctor (a hand/foot specialist) in April who took xrays and said that I had no signs of arthritis or anything else that he could see and he diagnosed me as having carpal tunnel syn. While that may have explained the hands it never explained my feet. And after using the braces he gave me I found little relief. Since then I have experienced joint pain (mostly knees, elbows, hip, and knuckles/fingers), hands and feet are still cold, and I have just general weakness off and on in my hands/arms and feet/legs. As a side note (don't know if these could all be connected or not) since the beginning of the summer I have started to have heartburn and mild reflux (never had either before in my life), also have noticed that my hair seems to be growing much much faster than it ever did before (legs, arms, etc..), and my skin suddenly has decided to go through the teenage phase (very mild) I never went through. Any ideas as to what could be going on and as to the type of doctor i should find for all this?

Cool

Hello, Im 25 and I read your pos and I can relate to the cold hands and feet, numbness and tingling, and heartburn. I was diagnosed with an Anxiety disorder which was causing the cold hands and feet and the numbness and tingling in extremites. Are you under and stress? The heartburn turned out to be GERD which Ive heard is also caused by anxiety and stress. I hope I could help a little.

Take care

It could be many things. Go to a regular/GP/family doctor. He'll know where to send you after many symptom questions if he cant help you.

Thumbs up

Hi,
Insist on seeing an endocrinologist.
Look in the Thyroid Board for the Information Archive topic and see how many of the symptoms you find listed that relate to you.
Print out the list, check it off, and give it to your doctor.

Read our stories...your symptoms sound just like ine were before finaly being given thyroid med, and most of my symptoms are now gone.

Let us know how you are doing, on the thyroid board. TF

Take note of the things you are eating as well. Are you eating foods that contain NutraSweet?
