Well, Pura Vida, maybe you should listen to your doctor. Just to clarify, I don't have any feet-numbing or limbs falling asleep; I just seem on the cool side as people go; you know, like when others think the temp. is nice I may be sitting on my hands to warm them up. When some think it is t-shirt weather I may keep a sweatshirt on, but when it gets hot like it really does in the summer, I'm suffering just like everyone else does from the heat - no cold extremities.
Although, (and here's another oddity which surely ties in with the rest) I just don't sweat much! It has to be beastly hot and I have to be really exerting myself to draw sweat. THe funny thing being that my boyfriend has the opposite tendency. When I think the weather is pleasant, he is sweating; when he turns the A.C. on in the car so he won't pass out from the heat, I sit there with my arms crossed, huddling to conserve a little body heat. Ha ha ha, isn't that the way life goes sometimes...
BUT - your symptoms sound much worse because I could never imagine a limb going numb,least of all while exercising. Better get that checked out.
Thanks Sulpicia and everyone else... glad to know I'm not the only one. It's a nice bonus to be encouraged to eat all the salt one wants; many unfortunate salt-lovers have to restrict it so I feel grateful that salt is one thing I don't have to put on a "no-no" list.
