There's a bunch of stuff that can cause cold extremities or low cold tolerance- low blood glucose as well as poorly controlled diabetes, brown fat disorder, cardiovascular illness, or plain vanilla fatigue and sleep deprivation, BUT: it's one of those things you should mention to your doctor if it's a recurring problem, and one a good doctor takes seriously.
I can so relate to being cold most of the time. For me it's the worst when I am sitting at the computer. I have always been sensitive to cold, and it was much worse, for years after becoming very hypothermic on the last major hike our family under took. We had made it up to the Pacific Crest trail, when we got caught in the record rain storm for the month of August. We were not really prepared for that much rain overnight. By the time we hiked back to the trail head, there were several of us that had hypothermia. My brother and his friend hiked out faster than the rest of us, and they were able to flag down a logging truck. It's a good thing, because I don't know if we would have survive the night. The trail head was at least 20 miles from the nearest paved road. In the end a full mountain was called in for us. It was a good thing because my dad had fallen and messed up his knee. Another friend of ours hiked back up the trail to get my dad's backpack. It was a lot of fun when the local officers carried us kids into the only open business in Index that night. I was carried piggyback by the local cop into the bar. I was 15 when this all happened. I have never been overnight backing since. I have almost done it, but it just never worked out. Of course now there no way I could manage the back country.
I think for me the cold is part of the Fibromyalgia.
I really noticed the cold this year since I had LapBand surgery two months ago and lost 65lbs.Man oh man am I freezing.
