Reply To: Meds causing cold hands?

[blackdog]

I used to always have cold hands and feet. I was always cold in general when I was younger. But now I seem to be the opposite. I can’t stand the heat. If I start to get overheated I have to get cooled down right away. I even have to shove my covers off at night sometimes, and I sleep in a basement with no heat.

I also used to get that “internal cold” feeling a lot. Now I only get it once in awhile. It’s like there are little tiny ice crystals underneath the surface of my skin.

I wish someone would tell my doctor that Vyvanse can lower blood pressure. He is still keeping my dosage down because my BP was a little high a couple of times when he checked it. But it’s no higher now than it was before the Vyvanse, so the medication is not the cause. And it’s also only high when he checks it, which tells you what the cause is.

I didn’t know that cold hands and feet could be an early sign of diabetes. I always thought circulation problems occurred later. Profuse sweating and extreme thirst were the first signs my aunt and brother showed. With my mom, it was mostly fatigue and being kind of dopey all the time.
