poor circulation

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
i think i have got poor circulation

i often cant feel my legs and sometimes my hands too and my legs are kind of purpley lookin (sorry if it sounds yuk)

I always get cold (even in summer) and i was wondering if it was because i am a vegetarian (i never used to get it b4)

so i was wonderin if there were ne exercises that i cud to to make it any better.


Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road. Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.

    my hands and feet are almost always cold, sometimes my legs are cold from about mid calf downwards. typing makes the hands worse, and using the mouse makes my poor right hand almost fall off! ive got so many pairs of slipper socks that just dont work!!

    but i dont now how to cure it <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif"&gt; you can buy these hand warmers, you shake them vigourously and theyre little pockets of heat, quite useful, nice to put in gloves in the cold <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    If you don't know where you're going, you'll probably end up somewhere else.

    You could try tensing and relaxing your legs for a couple of minutes.

    iva apparently got a circulation prob 2, my hands r constantly cold, and if on the odd occasion warm they sweat like mad. my feet r never warm even in the summer. im suppost to b organisin goin to the docs bout it, but he'll prob just tell me to wear thicker socks and gloves. but it does worry me.
    when i was a checkout chick i used to accidently brush past sum1's had when giving change etc and ever1 commented on my cold hands! i was told on many occasions that ginger is suppost 2 b good 4 circulaion, i dont know though.
    if n e 1 finds a solution please tell me! cheers love helen
