Cold Sensitive Hands and Feet Symptoms

[Catskillview]

Hello:

This is a follow posting to thank everyone who offered information and support to my previous post regarding "stinging, burning hands and feet when in contact with cold and cold water." My blood work came back "normal." My WBC slightly elevated, but nothing of concern at this time. I was also tested for Lyme, which came back negative. The mysterious symptoms have almost gone, but I'm not letting it go; I have a follow up appointment in a few weeks with my oncologist. I'm also looking for a CLL specialist, I have no complaints with my oncologist - so far so good - but I feel it's time to get serious as it were, and become more proactive, instead of pretending I haven't got cancer, which is what I've been doing. I'm going to post on the subject of switching teams doctors in the next few days. Thanks again.

Good you’re going to see a specialist. I really like and trust my oncologist but seeing a specialist gave me a new perspective. Best of luck.

Thanks for the reply, Pam. When you say a new perspective, do you mean in regards to your treatment options or just in general? I'd like to hear your thoughts, as I said, I'm in the process of making that decision.

Finding a specialist means you are dealing with someone who knows the ins and outs of when to treat, and how. When you post about it you might want to restrict your post to community only (at the bottom) and give a little information about your general location.

This group is very international, which means that there are people who are familiar with the systems in different countries, and the specialists. "Unlocked" posts control the privacy not only of the original post, but also of all replies. You are more likely to get more specific responses to a locked post.

Thanks. To be honest I didn't understand how the unlocked posting worked on the site. Now I do. Thanks again for the heads up.
