I have noticed that sufferes of mild chronic dissociation often have poor circulation:

Basically, it is a chronic level of background "fight or flight" response, which channels blood from the extremities to the heart and lungs in preparation for running or fighting, but is only supposed to do so for a few mintues at a time, not every waking moment.

This is valuable info - I wonder if it helps to take the herb " crampbark" - I take it when I have leg cramps at night and it works instantly.

HI THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION IT IS REALLY HELPFUL. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY LEGS FOR OVER 20 YEARS NOW. THREAD VEINS, SPIDER VEINS, MY LEGS SWELL UP AND PUMP BLOOD TO SPIDER VEINS WHICH THROBES AT THAT TIME OF THE MONTH, THEN I HAVE TROUBLE WALKING. I HAD TO GO PRIVATE FOR A WHILE TO HAVE SOME SPIDER VEINS REMOVED BUT I COULD NOT AFFORD THE TREATMENT. I WENT TO DOCTOR AGAIN AND AGAIN, HE SAID IT WAS MY WEIGHT, AND PREGNACY. I WEIGHT WAS 9 ST AT THE TIME. MY YOUNGEST IS NOW 14, STILL I HAVE TROUBLE, I VISIT THE GYM 3 TIMES A WEEK TO STRENGHTEN MY KNEES AND LEGS BUT AFTER A SHOPPING SESSION LAST WEEK I NOW HAVE PAINS IN MY LEGS ALL DAY, AND A GREEN VEIN PERTRUDING FROM BEHIND MY KNEE WHICH KILLS. I STARTED TO TAKE ASPRIN AS I READ IT HELPS WITH CIRCULATION. I LET YOU KNOW.

Thanks for all the helpful information guys, i've had cold hands and feet for as long as i can remember. hands are always cold, feet seem to have cold sweats all the time. but i do exercise regularly and eat well, i've always put it down to me being 6ft 5. there is the rare occasion where i feel fine and im certain it is because of what i have eaten prior. i think diet is very important as to how you feel physically and mentally.

dont smoke!

I've been a skier since I was around 4 years old back in the dark ages of the early 1960's, when migration was made from the leather lace-ups (dual sets of laces!) to the first of the hard plastic buckle-boots (as they were called back in the day). My feet run EXTREMELY wide - EEEE - and again, back in the day, there was limited availability of proper boot fitting. As kids in Maine (the Wind Chill Factor State), we'd ski from the time the lifts open, grab a quick lunch, and head back out again until they closed around 4PM. I remember feeling my feet go numb over and over again, and get the pain, then during the lunch break and after lifts closed, dreading the removal of the boots because you just KNEW the pain which you were gonna feel as your feet warmed up as they returned from the numbness phase. To this day - now some 40 years later - my feet are always cold, unless it's 85 degrees with 85 percent humidity. I'm wearing two pairs of socks fall, winter, and spring. If my feet get the least bit cold, they'll start a vicious circle of cold sweat, wet, and colder again. Recently I've started using foot creams featuring the amino acid L-Arginine, which is supposed to be a naturally-occurring circulation regulator. It SEEMS to be making a difference, but I'm not sure yet. Anybody in cold climates: BE SURE to wear proper-fitting clothing. There is no honor in "being tough" at the expense of your personal health. Not unless it's a matter of life and death. Be safe, y'all.

You can also do some tests to find out any underlying causes or associates diseases..

you can wear special tight socks and weight loss is essential, of course

wow, interesting reading for sure, im here cause i have bad circulation due to a lack of oxygen because i have an extremely common disease that for 6 out of 10 people who have it, go undetected. sleep apnea is a very serious disease that i didn't find out that i had for my whole life until 3 years ago because of my mother who has had it for years. basically you stop breathing during sleep because the muscles in your throat are not strong enough to hold themselves open so your oxygen is being stripped from your brain leaving you dizzy and unrested and all the other things that follow a bad rest or no rest at all. now i've learned that this can lead to heart disease. i've never had colored blotches, but i can't make a fist without my fingers becoming painfull pieces of wood, stiff and soar. for those who don't smoke and can't seem to find a cause PLEASE go to your doctor and make sure you get an answer. some sort of possibility cause every doctor i've ever seen has told me im to young or not a possible candidate for anything that im actually suffering with. all the doctors that i've told i had sleep apnea would never believe me if it weren't on paper cause it's rare for people who aren't overweight or middle-aged. i would've only lived to be 28 if i was lucky, living with this problem unnoticed. i intend to look into every single thing i can do to reverse this bad circulation because neither of my jobs will keep me around if i keep dropping stuff all the time that isn't even heavy. worst part is i've had a cpap machine for over a year now, and there is an improvement, but i suffer from a SERIOUS lack of rest. GO TO YOUR DOCTOR. the one thing i can definetly say is that i strongly dislike alot of people, but i would NEVER WISH WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH UPON A SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!
