Why is my nose...

With me it is my feet. Hour after going to bed they will warm up, but no socks or blankets wrapped round them in the evening will make them warm

You need to knit a little nose cosy baggs they could be all the rage.

Could it be that the answer is ...You live in the frozen North?

I could not go to bed with out my hottie bottle for my feet as they are always cold Tizliz

My feet are like that at bedtime too, tizliz. I have found that an underneath electric blanket makes a difference. If the rest of me warms up quickly, my feet do too. Still, it's daft because they usually get hotter and hotter through the evening (while my nose gets colder) and then freeze when I go to bed.

I've started pulling on one of my gardening hats in the evenings when I'm just reading or something. It seems to work in the same way as the heated under-blanket and warms up my nose as well.

Could it all just mean my circulation's gone to pot? Except....

When I was getting chilblains on my toes (didn't recognise them and neither did my GP! He put me on an antibiotic for what he supposed was an infection!!!!!), my GP said I had a good pulse in my feet.

Anyway, the chilblains went away and have stayed away since I got the electric under-blanket.

Looks like the solution to a cold evening nose is a woolly hat ?

No solution or explanation, Baggs (so no bleeding help at all really), but I get this sometimes too. I'd always assumed it was to do with circulation.

At the children's museum we go to, there's a feature where you can stand/jig about in front of a screen that shows how warm your body is via different colours, through red for warm to blue for cold. The family push me in front of this so they can all have a good laugh at my expense bright blue nose. Even nearby strangers comment on it.

My nose is always cold when I wake up on a morning, DH says it is because I am a nose breather and that is all that sticks over the duvet.

This is interesting - DH suffers from cold legs and feet in the evening too! I sometimes have it if the weather is cold no matter how warm the room is. We were talking about it last week.

Isn't a cold nose a sign of good health ...... in a dog ? ........... only saying !

It's my feet in the evening what feels the cold my oh gets the cold nose .

These days, if I get really cold, it takes me ages, really ages, to warm up again, and involves blankets and hot
water bottles. A sort of mini hypothermia. Does anyone else find this?

It's my hands and sometimes my back.
In fact, I was just wondering whether or not to go and put my vest back on but it is supposed to be Summer
So I have put on a fleecy waistcoat instead and will put on some gardening gloves when it stops raining.

My nose feels quite warm btw.

henetha my thermostat doesn't seem to work properly these days, I am either feeling chilly or hot and embarrassingly perspiring.

It starts with my ankles, once they get cold it spreads to my feet, and then my nose. I have been known to watch TV in a t-shirt and cut offs, with socks and woolly boot slippers!
Not a good look! ?

I've found that wearing legwarmers, well scrunched around my ankles, helps keep my feet warm. Then they get too warm!

My mum always used to say that if you are too hot then you should expose your wrists and neck first. Ankles too if appropriate. And that the converse works just as well, so if you are cold, make sure your wrists and neck are well-wrapped, ditto ankles.

Two vests, electric fire, electric blanket and flannelette sheets. That's my summer and still I've got a cold nose. I'm glad to hear others also suffer. I thought I was fading away.

Because you nose is so loooong, the blood can't get to the end of it!!!

Baggs doctors no longer recognise chilblains. DH had a problem and the doc diagnosed chilblains but I remember them from my childhood and they were not. Eventually they found the cause.

I am so pleased to read this. I wear thermal vests even in the summer and thin summer dresses are not for me. Fluffy bed socks sometimes. My nose has always been red and cold! It's nice to discover I'm quite normal. Thank you ladies!

My nose gets cold sometimes, I think the circulation needs to get to important parts of the body first, and the nose gets left behind sometimes!

Are you on any medications? Mine make my nose cold and/or itchy.

I think that if you are at all anaemic your extremities (hands, feet, nose etc) tend to get cold - might be worth checking.

Bloomin' age again: nothing works quite as well as it used to. Nose cold, but not bothered, except that eyes and nose water, particularly if it's cold, but can also happen when it's hot, whilst walking in the middle of a hot day. The optician thought the eyes might be blepharitis, but having religiously followed directions, eyes are no better, and nose leaks whenever it feels like it, along with the eyes. Basically I understand it could be that the nerves supplying the eyes and sinuses are overactive for no obvious reason. Feet too hot in trainers and too cold in leather shoes, winter or summer. But sandals and socks perfect, as long as I take a hot water bottle/heated wheat bag to bed for my feet. All about managing old age (66!) I guess.

Cold hands and feet could be due to hypothyroidism? My feet are always icy but the thyroxine I take doesn't seem to help there. I've abandoned hwb for socks at the moment and always have a winter tog duvet. Conversely a few yeas ago in Italy I found the heat insufferable and spent the night covered in cold, wet towels. I think my thermostat, or ability to adapt, has broken down. Does this happen as we age? Nose ok incidentally.
