Cold patches on skin

[j2]

For the last month or so I have been having what I call cold patches all over my body but especially in my hands, feet and lower back. It feels like these patches are cold but almost numb. I have also gotten this on the left side of my face. I don’t think this is a blood circulation issue as my fingers and toes don’t look particulary blue. I have also been have this feeling of living in a fog. It takes me a long time to focus and is hard to stay focused. I have also been having lots of aches and pains in my joints lately, especially my feet. For what it is worth, I am 39, male, non smoker with a history of HA. Right now I am not too freaked out about this but I would appreciate hearing from others who may have had this.

Thanks,
J2

I can totally relate to this, I had it myself a few months back. I used to get a very cold patch on the top of my head. I ignored it, and lo and behold it went away... i guess it's just another sympton of anxiety!

thanks for the response Cookie.

I have such a hard time understanding these random nuero symtpoms. It is so easy for me to think that this is MS or some form of heart disease but it just won't sink in that this is anxiety. Anyway, I hope it is anxiety.
