A member asked:

I have bad reactions to cold temperatures, but my symptoms dont sound like raynauds. what could they mean?

Some other causes: Some people feel quite uncomfortable in colder temperatures, a condition called cold intolerance or cold sensitivity. If the vasospasm of raynaud's phenomenon is not present, then the cold intolerance is probably due to other causes instead of raynaud's. Other causes include hypothyroidism, other hormonal imbalances, anemia, older age, low body weight with low body fat, etc...

Not enough info: If you do not have raynauds, cold intolerance can be a symptom of a low thyroid. See your doctor.
