Hi, wonderful and wise maintainers!
I am hoping that you might shed some light on a small problem I'm having. Obviously this would be a good question for my doctor, but mine has left town and I'm sort of between docs right now.
I've lost over 100 pounds since last April. Ever since winter hit, my toes and fingers have been so cold! I usually don't
ever wear socks, but I'm wearing them all the time now, even in bed!
I wear isotoner gloves outside (it's usually anywhere from single digits to the low 30s in the winter here) and have never had any problems. This year, my fingers start "burning" with the cold even during the five minute drive and walk to work.
I thought it might be the development of a diabetes/poor circulation thing (my mom has Type II), so I had my glucose checked and I'm at 85 without fasting. So it's not that.
Maybe my body is trying to readjust to my new weight, and doesn't know how to keep me warm at this point. Or maybe I just need thicker gloves and socks?
Anyone else have this problem as they were losing? This doesn't apply to those of you in sunny spots, of course.
(lucky ones!)
Thanks in advance...
