*I am not saying your son is OK or fine*, but a friend of mine's extremities turn blue or lose color when she gets cold. It's called Raynaud's disease or phenomenon. I don't think it's anything serious.

I just want to reiterate that I am not a doctor.

I believe there is also a lot of pain in the extremities when a Raynaud's sufferer is exposed to cold. But I am not a doctor either.

I'm also not a doctor, but I do play one on TV, and I say better to be safe than sorry.

My friend doesn't have much pain, but she may not have it as bad as others.

Heres a clue from a guy who has raised 6 kids. Give the kid a WARM bath. Works great.

Women always panic and want to go to the hospital.
