@Wanderquest, it could be your body’s natural response to extreme cold: pulling more blood from the extremities to retain warmth around the organs in your core, because if they get too cold, hypothermia kicks in. It doesn’t even have to be extremely cold for this self-protective process to start.
Or, it could be diabetes or pre-diabetes. It affects the circulation in your extremities, too. I often have cold feet and hands (and nose!) because of this. We ADDers tend to have more eating disorders, which lead to more diabetes, than in the general population.
