Endometriosis Support Group
Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.
Hi ladies.. This might be an odd question it's not endo related but maybe it is? who knows anymore huh?
Anyway.. Im sitting here shaking, while it's warm and absolutely glorious day. Im always so cold it's not funny, my hands and my feet and my nose..even when I attempt to warm them up they are cold. Like ice cubes!! I'll go for a walk break only a minor sweat if even a sweat... and even then my hands will either be pupped up majorly (I know this is blood circulating) OR they are ice cold STILL.
The naturopath said it's bad abdominal circulation.. but I don't know.. all I know is whenever someone might brush past my hand they end up grabbing it trying to warm it up because of how cold it is.. My whole body feels like an ice cube while it can be 40 degrees outside! (umm im not sure what this is in America but.. think of one of the hottest days you get).
Ideas?

I'll keep it in mind! I hope you're well, thanks for your support also xoxo
I have some of the same symptoms.....especially with the cold hands, feet and nose. They got better when I started taking levothyroxine for underactive thyroid. I also have very low blood pressure that goes as low as 90/60, but I think that is due to poor circulation. I also have a low body tempture at all times but sweat alot, even when I'm really sick and should run a fever - that's usually the only time I get to 98.6. I've also been treated for anemia
I'm starting to think since so many of us have the same symptoms (besides the pelvic pain and horrible periods) that endo does more to our bodies than anyone thinks. Its just really strange.
I hope you find some answers and I know how frustrating this can be. Good luck to you!

My friend and I go and get out nails done once a month as a little treat for us. The lady doing my nails goes "put your hands under the light your absoluteltly FREEZING"...I felt a bit embaressed.. then when finishing and putting my hands infront of a fan i turned it off to notice my hands (both) were all red and blotchy like little veins in my hands...I was getting worse so I started to rub them to try and warm them up.. my hands were still cold but the blotchiness/red little veins went away. We went out for a pinic last night with another friend and my hands started turning blue..I have no idea =/ If it continues I'll have to bring it up with my GP I think...has anyone else had this?
ALso - endometriosis has a LOT of similarities with fibromyalgia. And fibro patients have a lack of blood circulation to their cells... does make me wonder if it is endo related too!
And as a side note, I ALWAYS have seriously low blood pressure too... it always worries them with my pregnancies!
