I'd start looking at:
Hypothyroidism Not enough salt in the diet

Folks, this comes up a lot -- just search for cold hands or cold feet -- you'll find my replies too.
Since I have gotten better on the MP, and cleaned the bugs out of my blood, my excellent circulation has returned. Perhaps blood viscosity has a lot to do with it too -- think about the Hemex fibrinogen test, INR, etc.

I too experienced with for years. I was hypothyroid prior to getting ill. All tests kept coming back as med levels good.
Finally I started Cymbalta for depression and guess what happened? Not only did it help depression but I also warmed up finally.
No longer had cold feet & hands. The medical people couldn't explain why to me, so I did my research.
Sure enough cymbalta contains serotonine, which happens to be something the body needs to regulate the body temperature. like a thermostat. So somebody(bad guys) must of consumed all my serotonine.
A few months ago I decided my Cymbalta wasn't working. I weened myself off of it easily. It only took two weeks for me to realize Cymbalta was working for me.
I'm back on it and made some new decisions such as, taking 2-30mg a day, instead of 60mg at one time. I thought this might help spread the serotonine around.
I certainly wouldn't advise anyone to take Cymbalta if not needed for depression. But there must be other ways of gettting serotonine in the body to regulate body temp.

My hands and feet were cold all the time while I was really sick with Lyme, I never went out without gloves. Even in summer my hands and feet would turn yellow and frozen.
After several years of antibiotics the problem went away. I am amazed that I can now go out in the cold for a few minutes without gloves and warm up quickly and easily.
For me it was a Lyme symptom. Keep warm. hats
