Cold sensation running through body

9 Replies

This may sound strange, just wondered if anyone is or has experienced this. At least a couple of times I experience this cold sensation running through my body, almost as if my blood is running cold. It's mostly in my legs but other parts have been affected. I have both an underactive thyroid for which I take levothyroxine and also pbc for which I take urso.

Yes I get this but on the top of my head and in my ears, its like having ice cold water running through my veins. It was very frightening the first few times it happened, but I'm used to it now. :-(

I have it on a daily basis in my feet, legs and hands. I also have it with burning heat. I think, in my case, this is peripheral neuropathy rather than my thyroid condition - which is supposedly well controlled. I also have RA.

I get it in my legs. It's as if the cold sensation is pulsating down them and it comes out of the blue. I also have a sensation sometimes as if my leg is touching something hot or as if hot water is flowing down my leg and yet it is not. Plus I get burning feet sometimes. I do have varicose veins and I have had issues on and off with erythromelalgia type symptoms (usually in the evening triggered by eating a hot meal) in my hands so in my case I have a suspicion it's either neuropathic or vascular.

I love this website, I thought it was something serious, the cold sensation in my legs. When I recently went to America it was approximately 28 or 30 degrees. Really hot And I felt really good, as soon as I came back to uk, it stated again. I am waiting to see if there is any explanation on here. glad I am not alone

I have had the same symptoms. I feel like I have ice water running through my veins.. My finger tips get really ice cold.. And when I have these flare ups..I really feel like I could crawl into a fire place..I also get headaches pretty bad, when I have a flare up.. I shake and shiver so bad.. Sometimes up to a few hours.. It makes my body so sore.. Especially my back. I'm in the process with my insurance trying to find a good doctor.. Everything I have looked up about my symptoms,has pointed to thyroid problems.. I sure hope you find some answers & help.. I feel for you.. I really do.. Best of luck to you..

I'm not on thyroid meds but I have similar symptoms. It feels like my insides are freezing up from my chest to my feet even my arms. Most of the times it would stay in my stomach the longest.
