    i have a problem im wondering if im the only one with this or if anyone has the same problem too???
    i have cold fingers and toes, mostly the fingers, 95% the time they are stone cold, but especially in cold weather their worse and i mean like stone cold like touching the inside of your freezer but my fingers go blood blood red in color, there is no swelling at all but the extreme cold can make my fingers painful to move. the same with the opposite environment they become very hot and really red in a very warm/hot room too, or if warmed them by the fire. rarely are they a normal color, sometime i might have one or 2 fingers that are ice cold and the rest might be warm. i get pins and needles in them the odd time quite rarely tho and only lasts a few seconds, i work in a wholesale warehouse so the temperature is nearly always cold or freezing this time of year, i have resorted to putting my hands under a hot tap to numb the cold pain to warm them up sometimes but then i get pins and needles straight away and im sure that's a bad thing to be doing.
    i have gone to my local GP before, twice in fact and they don't know what it is, they haven't a clue to be honest. i know Raynaud's is when your hands goes pure white, but i don't think it's that neither, i don't know what to do really, i feel like im cursed with some rare problem but cant find help on it online neither, i don't seem to fit into any particular bracket raynauds or Erythromelalgia.

    I've tried posting a picture just as an example i took it with my mobile phone camera while at work the other day

    A request for medical advice if ever I saw it. Go see a GP or a Dermatologist OP, we cannot give out medical advice on boards.
