COLD hands/feet symptom of fibro?

Sounds like it could be Raynauds which sometimes accompanies fibro.  It would be a good idea to ask your doctor about it.

I have Raynaud's, like the others. I don't think I have it as bad as ak angel (so sorry to hear that :-/), but I get the same symptoms. My hands and feet are always a different color than my skin and both tend to be either really cold or really hot, while my body may feel to be an entirely different temperature. Definitely talk to your doctor about it. For me, it is just uncomfortable (especially when my feet get hot-happens often when I'm trying to sleep) , but I'm not at risk of losing anything from it. I think that might be very rare. The pictures you'll find online are often very severe. I know that none of the pictures I've seen , match the color that mine get. I do know that when I'm in the heat and wearing flip flops, people say "OMG your feet got so burnt!" when it's actually the Raynaud's. I've had it since I got diagnosed over 10 years ago.

My doctors have told me that it's nothing to be concerned with, but none of us here can diagnose you, so it wouldn't hurt to ask about it at your next doc appointment. :)

I have to wear flannel gloves in the house in the winter, don`t I look silly! lol
Yes, my hands really ache and turn bluish from the cold. Making hamburger patties is torture, so I have been teaching my son how to do it.

When I had a test done last summer (can`t remember the name now, but it measured electric impulses in the muscles?) ther doctor kept telling me to put my hands under hot running water to warm them up, even though they didn't feel cold to me.
My NP also dismisses it as nothing to worry about. Yes, I realize that cold does hurt everyone. Put your hand in a bucket of ice water and you will have to pull it out... eventually. What they don't get is that it is unbearable instantaniously for us.
