Cold exposure: Your symptoms are most likely due to vasomotor reactions to cold exposure with intermittent dilatation of skin capillaries as the body tries to shunt heat into its interior and away from the periphery(hands,feet,nose,ears). I wouldn't consider it due to any specific diseases.

Detailed history : In cases where the symptoms are complex and the diagnosis is not straightforward, many clinicians would say that the most important step is detailed conversation with the patient to elucidate the history. Especially if some work up has already been done, a careful review of the story is the first step. Consider getting a consultation with a doctor in the office or here on HealthTap.
