    You don’t understand, my feet and hands are REALLY cold all the time. So I either burry them under my blanket or they’ll freeze off while the rest of my body evaporates from heat

      You might have Reynaud’s Phenomenon, do your fingers and toes sometimes turn purple if it’s really cold? It’s a blood circulation condition, mostly harmless but a little bit annoying. It’s a real medical condition, ask your doctor if you think you have it. If it’s really bad you might want to take blood thinners.

        I kinda expected a comment like this. Although I already knew it’s a medical condition I wasn’t able to narrow down which one specifically.

        Well I don’t really know about my feet but my hands certainly get blue-/reddish when cold enough (-°C outside for an hour or something). I thought everyone had that when it’s cold enough

        It’s a blood circulation condition

        Yeah, my blood circulation sucks ass

        Thank you for looking out for a fellow Lemmy user. I greatly appreciate it :)

          Yeah, I have it too, that’s how I recognized the symptoms. You’re not alone, and now you at least know what it is, it’s not very common but other people do have it. At least you know you’re not crazy and it is a real thing.
