A few possibilities: Cold sensitivity can be associated raynaud's, autoimmune disease and/or thyroid disease but there might be other reasons as well.There are some tests that might be helpful in determining if it is an autoimmune or thyroid condition- checking your temperature to see if you run below 98.6, blood work for thyroid antibodies (tpo and thyroglobulin antibodies), tsh, free t4, free t3, (liothyronine) reverse t3, (liothyronine) and ana.
