Topic: Cold feet ?

I have hypercoagulation and take bromelain instead of heparin so I know that can cause cold feet.

My feet are so cold that I am using the heating pad to try and warm them. This has been getting worse. My hands are cold also.
I have had all the tests for thyroid and I have taken b12 shots.
I only started antibiotics about 6 weeks ago. First doxy and now ceftin.
Does anyone else have cold feet that hurt?
Thay are sore and I have not done any thing.
Can spinal degeneration and some of the things that go with cervical narrowing cause feet to hurt?
Thanks,
Suttles

Hi suttles,

I am not sure why, but I used to get cold feet and hands all the time.... even when it was 90 outside. I used to put my feet in hot water and wear socks all the time.

The coldness have lessened with treatment. I have been on Abx for 6 months. Hopefully yours will too.

I am assuming this is just a symptom of Lyme.

Take care, and keep warm
Lisi

My mom has Reynauld (I may have misspelled it) syndrome. However, the cold feet of my dad are due to his mild diabetes. Don't want to scare you, though.

Have your tried going off the bromelain for awhile to see if the situation improves?

They were cold before the bromelain. They are just colder now.
I just wonder if having things like digenerative disk disease or some of the other spinal problems could affect your feet.

Even the skin on my legs does not look like it use to it is more like chicken skin or something that I cannot describe.
I have had lots of tests and no dibetes but I have wondered about the Raunauds.

Lyme is just so awful every symptom fits other illnesses and then any symptom can be lyme.

Taking ABX can defiently worsen hypercoagulation and things like heparin are often increased temporarily. Bromelain is a fibrinolytic, but you might need something stronger. There is Nattokinase and it works very well and is believed to be VERY safe.

You might want to look into that. Yes, I have suffered from hypercoagulation. Someone brought up Raynauds, Raynauds is often associated with hypercoagulation.

Mine coagulation is entirely normal now and I continue to use NattoK to keep the blood normal.....just in case those little buggers try to sneak back in.
