Hello, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone.

I was wondering, does anyone hands and feet get really cold during winter time?
It been getting cold here, it 30 degree F here for the past few nights. Seem like this winter gonna be colder than previous winters.

My husband he knows when the weather get cold/winter time, my hands and feet get really cold at night; so when we in bed--he always rubs my hands and rubs my feet.
He been rubs my feet the past three nights; right now I wish he home from work so he can rubs my feet again, lol

My hands and feet get freezing though, like very very cold--this ONLY happen in winter time though. Does anyone else also have cold hands and feet just in winter time only?

I'm 30, husband also 30. I don't know if it because my age 30 so I have freezing hands and feet during winter?

Hello HisPresence: Kudos to your husband! How many hubby's would do this? Yes... my hands & feet are always cold during the winter. But then I'm old... so it's probably to be expected. I wear athletic socks to bed at night during the winter to keep my feet warm. If my feet are cold I can't sleep! When I go outside for walks, I wear glove liners inside of mittens...

It's common for a person's extremities (fingers, toes, nose, ears) to get cold during very cold weather, so if the temperature is extremely cold those areas are most prone to frost bite.

I live in a very warm part of the U.S.
Thanks for this!

back in the 1800's they had these handy things called bedwarmers. (metal irons or pans they heated and slipped into the covers at the bottom of the bed ) my wife and I use this same idea, in the camping athletic department there are these nice instant heat packs. we take 4 of them open the packs and place them just under the sheet where our feet are. then for 10 hours our feet are toasty warm. you can also buy the reusable ones in the health and beauty aid department. we use those too , here in NY it can get to below zero in the winter. A relaxing bath also warms those toes and feet up on these cold winter nights. my wife and I do enjoy feet massage but our respective comfort isnt depended upon the other, if one is not available we massage our own feet and find other avenues for comfort of our cold feet. one of our improvising is placing dry rice in a sock tying the end and heating it in the microwave, tucked under our feet we can have a self massage while keeping our hands free for other things like holding, reading to our children on these cold days\nights.
Thanks for this!

Yes!
My feet are always freezing all winter long.
I wear lots of fuzzy socks, and my favorite pair of slippers to help

My hands also do the same and I hate how dry they get.
You would think I did manual labor 5 days a week if you seen my hands during winter time. It's the worst!

Thank you for the replies. Happy Holidays to everyone.

I heard some ladies said that it can be thyroid issue, to poor circulation, to being tall and anemic; can caused cold hands and feet in winter time..
BUT I'm a 4'11" short height and chubby girl, I'm like chubby everywhere. I'm sure 4'11" is Not tall, and I'm NOT anemic.

Yes, I had my iron levels check. I have an OB/GYN and a M.D. doctor.
All my health check-up is normal. My blood test result everything is within normal range, my blood cell count is in normal range too.

My hands and feet doesn't turn purple or white, at.all. It just get really cold, like freezing cold.. And this only happen in winter/cold weather. Never happen in spring/summer or warm weather.

Wear socks does help a bit. We tried turn on the heater--and it helps alot.
BUT last time when the heater stays on, after a while I get bleeding nose, I dunno why. It is because at night outside it 30ºF cold, and inside it hot with the heater on so my nose bleeds?
For the past four nights my husband didn't turn on the heater, perhaps he doesn't want to see my nose bleeds? He keeps rubs my hands and rubs my feet to helps keep it stay warm.

It wasn't this cold at night last week or so, it just starting to get cold. And it been raining for the past two days, so it gets colder than usual.

I wouldn't be concerned.. When it's freezing cold out your blood goes to your vital organs to keep them warmer as opposed to your hands/feet. I get cold hands from using the computer, also. Some people are just more sensitive to temperature changes..

Yes, my hands and feet get cold. Got frostbite in basic training. We were in prone position un capped, ungloved and unjacketed to teach us a lesson for cutting off another company to the messhall. Once you have frostbite you feel it everytime there is cold. tc

Check out your blood iron level. Low iron in the blood will result in cold hands or feet.
