Cold Hands

I have a problem with freezing cold hands after having a total thyroidectomy. Does anyone else have this symptom and Is that due to being hypothyroid now?

    I am hypo and am infamous for my cold hands.

    I also seem to have developed reynaud's, but I think it's unrelated to the thyroid issue. I keep gloves with me, especially if I'm going to be holding cold things for an extended period of time.

    Hypo here too and my hands and feet have been colder than what I'm use to for sure. The higher level of Niacin I take doesn't help matters and causes flushing to a degree! :O I find myself using my laptop at times as a hand warmer! LOL!
