Always cold
It seems like I always get very cold, even when I was a little kid (I'm 16 now). Not just chilly--like fingernails and lips turning blue and shivering like mad. Usually just if I'm sitting down or laying down for a while. The air around me isn't even very cold--sometimes it's even seventy-five degrees, or hotter. Is there anything I can do to change this, or is there some reason why I always become so cold?

well it seems to me like you have some sort of anemia , or it may even be worse considering your symptoms . when you have anemia , your always cold because you don`t consume a lot of iron which makes your blood thinner and without a lot of blood you tend to get really sensitive to air because you think it`s cold . but when your fingernails and lips turn blue that`s because your not getting enough oxygen . but i would definitly make a trip to your doctor , because if you let it go any longer it could turn very serious . hope i helped :]

It sounds as though you may either suffer from a condition called Raynaud's Disease, which causes parts of your body to respond to stress or the cold with numbness, tingling and so on; or you could just have difficulty with colder temperatures.
What you really need to do is to discuss this with your doctor. Although some of us here may be able to provide a rough idea of what might be ailing you, you need to speak to a doctor, who will be able to provide a formal diagnosis, and hopefully treatment.
You say you have suffered from this since you were small. That would imply it isn't just a minor cold or flu or something along those lines. It does sound like a condition. If you speak to your doctor, you should be able to get some sort of idea what the problem is and hopefully, a way to treat it.
In the meantime, when you start to have these cold spells, make sure you have a hot drink or some warmer clothes nearby, which will help.
