My fingers seem to be less sensitive to cold than the back of my hand or my arm. For example, if it is cold out side and I touch a metal object, it always feels colder up against my arm than if i touch it with my finger tips. Almost like I have callouses on my fingers.

Does anyone know if that is something to be concerned about in light of AED use? Could that be a neuropathy sign or is it normal?

Anytime the doc does the metal wand test on my feet, he says it comes back normal, but I've been wondering about this.

Its not that I cant feel cold with my fingers, i can, they just seem less sensitive to it than other parts of my body. Like, my fingers wont feel cold just sitting here, but if I grab my upper arm I notice my finger tips feel cold, on my arm.

Any thoughts or am I just overthinking this?
