cold/hot hands
16 Answers
Is it normal to find it hard to keep your hands at a nice temperature?
Mine almsot always sem to be freezing cold or dripping with sweat.
People always comment on them, normally to say 'oh gosh your hands are freezing.' Or I find myself rubbing my hands on my jeans to get the sweat off it I have to do a handshake etc.
