Melon is back (in my favorite incarnation)! :D

EDIT: Actually it looks like you've been back a month now and I just didn't notice any of your posts. In any case, welcome back, and good luck with the toes (mine are cold too, but I'm about to go jogging to warm them up ... maybe try that?)

[BlackBellamy]

I would see a doctor, like if your toes are cold normally you put on socks or increase the heat, but if you're here on an internet forum that means you're smart and have tried all that already.

My guess diabetes or some kind of withering. Have it checked out!

Yeah, we're all getting to that age playing a 20 year old game and posting on forums like its 1992, that maybe the best advice we can give each other for anything like this is, time to go see a doctorb.

If you sit a lot, it could just be circulation, but it may be nerve pinching issues that are building up! I recently had to transition to a standing desk, because my whole shoulder went dead numb 2 months ago from a pinched nerve caused by bad posture.

Either that or any minuet an alien is going to burst out of my chest.

But the lesson learned was, I am no longer an immortal youth. :(

Prescription : Go to gas station amd get 1 half gallon of gasoline, set your lower torso on fire and then smash your burnt toe with a 20 pound hammer . That ought fix it

Hi Melon. I get you! My toes, fingers, tops of my hands, and nose are always cold in the wintertime. I have that weird bloodflow condition where I'm always cold. It's a hard life. My boyfriend pitches a fit that I have my apartment at like 75 degrees all of the time in the winter! I notice that layers work for me, as well as thick socks and warm shoes. I really dig the bombas socks, the thick wool ones they make. https://bombas.com/ .. If you're a woman, Uggs make really comfortable boots. I think they make men uggs too, I dont know. I prefer the boot look, and not really the fluffy popular ones.

Thank you! ^^ I haven’t posted much. I do jumping jacks on the regular, but have not tried jogging. I hope it is enjoyable!

Oh gosh, I hope that is not the case and I suspect it is not. Although my feet are socked and shoed ��

I do actually sit lots. It is an unfortunate consequence of my work, altho I do have the option of standing and I am doing that more too.

Thank youuuuuu <3 It is hard, ain’t it? I hadn’t thought about my nose being cold until you mentioned it, but it is too! All the time D: I will check out your sock suggestion. I like boots too, but I am generally most cold at work and boots don’t really work well for work. Now that I think about it, I do do layers at home. Maybe I should find a way of doing that better at work too 🤔

Raynaud's phenomenon.

Woah. Did not know that exists O: I generally do not change color like that tho. At least I don’t think I do 🤔

[Bardp1999]

Hey Lulz what do you do when your extremities go numb from your type 2 diabetes, maybe Melon can adopt some of your techniques???

Yep, that's the one. It really sucks. Also, Melon.. Ugg has some good work-appropriate flats that you can wear. They're cool with boots at my school, so I wear them alot.

[Cecily]

I think I have it too. My toes will go numb / cold in a painful way if I get overexposed to the cold and stay like that for 30 mins. Not sure I've ever seen the full on blue color though.

[magnetaress]

Cut em off. Sorta like srs. But for toes.

[maskedmelon]

I willl have a look at the ugg flats, ty bears ^^

But I will not remove my toes, Mae!!

[Muggens]

Go walking, its better/healthier than jogging/running!

If youre in bed and toes get cold, rotate the blanket 180 to warm up the bottom part of it with your torso, then rotate back

Try using toe-spacers and wiggle your toes to make em more active

Try yoga or judo, activities that will help your toes to activate

[imperiouskitten]

find someone with warm legs and steal their heat ruthlessly like Stalin

[magnetaress]

Yeah all of these ^^

Circulation. :)

Make sure ur not pinching off blood flow, I sometimes do that if I lean on an ankle.

Regular activity helps with circulation. Do foot massages. Roll warm stones around them or use an object and feel it with your feet. Learn proper barefoot walking, posture, running. Walk around on different surfaces, not just a hard flat floor.

Do some light exercises in place like gentle jumps on the balls of ur feet.

I like to wait for threads to mature to assess the genuity of it. Although you've always seemed pretty genuine, I'm always skeptical. I like the recommendations tho (not being sarcastic).

If you're actually looking for some answers as to why this is happening, you might not find them. Get some labs done (cbc, a1c, thyroid, test, etc.). Just get some simple labs done (if you haven't). If you have, that's what I mean by why you might not find answers. Like the gut, it's complex.

ff you can get by by the recommendations to stay comfortable, do so. If you want to DM me about this you're more than welcome to.

[Cecily]

Got my a1c checked today. Pray for me.

I don't remember saying that / thinking that. And good b/c I feel safer around psychopaths.

Thanks! Clinic taking their sweet time to post these labs.

Fasting fixes a1c

Just don't overdo it.

I’ve always supported you despite our in game differences you have no idea about

[imperiouskitten]

I don't think ur a psychopath Mead, you seemed affected by covid. No, I reckon you're a good old-fashioned sexual sadist (aka gr8)

[magnetaress]

Mead definitely can empathize, and sympathize.
