Rose,

You may have mentioned this somewhere, but if you have, I apologize, because I have forgotten. Are you being treated for hypothyroidism? If not, have you been properly tested for hypothyroidism? Many of us with MC have hypothyroidism, and it can definitely cause cold hands, so that if you have Raynaud's phenomenon, I would assume that hypothyroidism would greatly amplify the problem.

Love,
Tex

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Tex,

You know I really don't know if I have had that test done recently. I know I have had my thyroid check several times in the past and all the tests have come back normal, but I can't remember the last time I have had it checked. I see my GP the first week of March and I will ask him if he checked it last year when I had a complete CBC.

Thanks Tex,

Love,

Rose
