You may be right, I'm always freezing now. Prior to taking I was always hot.

Yes, some of the medications reduce blood pressure so flow to extremities is affected. I filled my car with diesel in the cold yesterday, and it took ages for my hands to warm up again. Best to try and stay warm if possible, lots of layers. And good gloves (warm and waterproof) if you’re making a snowman!

Yes, I often wear fingerless gloves indoors during winter, along with fluffy slippers and woollen socks, pile on layers of clothes made from natural fabrics (cotton or wool) or good quality themals, and wrap a blanket over my legs while I watch TV. I may look like Bob Cratchit, but it keeps me warm!

Hi Casualvisitor, I feel really cold most of the time, especially my hands and feet. Also, I sometimes get the sensation my ears are being dipped in ice cold water. I was told its the heart meds. Love the snow thing. Best wishes.
