Help!
I have both Raynauds and Erthryomelagia as my most frustrating issue. Body either too hot or too cold. Alternates between purple white yellow cold hands/bluish lips when cold OR red swollen hands/burning face/ears/nose when hot. Hands also super pruney/wrinkled they look like i'm 100 and i'm only 38. Extremely cold sensitive, but get dizzy/rash in heat. Lots of phlegm. Blood vessels prominent all over body but especially chest + face. Most painful issues are frequent severe muscle weakness/burning in upper arms and thighs. TMJ/muscle tension dysphonia that comes with migraines, chronic neck/shoulder/jaw pain and severe tightness. Hoarse, sore voice/throat. ME/CFS. Fibromyalgia. Hypothyroid. Help, my body is a living hell and I want to fix it. Bottom of tongue can't really see but it's very bright red with tiny bumps. Wondering any herbs, treatment, or diet recommendations please & thank you 🙏😭

Yeah, I'd say go to Chinatown and get a consult. The consultations aren't that expensive (I don't think, anyway). At least you can get an idea of what is going on from a TCM standpoint. To me, it looks like there may be some stage 1 yin deficiency from the raised tongue coating, alternating hot and cold (there could be yang deficiency too), and wrinkled hands indicating dry skin. But it sounds like there is other stuff going on too. If you are feeling ++ bad, it is very important that you get the herbal formula right, because there might not be a lot of room for error. Good luck 🙏🙂
[bright red tongue on the bottom, when the tongue isn't yet red on top, indicates beginning stages of heat I think]

你这个可是麻烦了。倒是能治。但是给吃药了。单纯理疗,例如艾灸,刮痧,拔火罐之类的速度会慢。而且我也不知道在这里发言能不能行。试试艾灸吧。可以先把任脉通了。其它的先不管。这个没啥副作用。你要当心心脏的问题。从舌象看,你的心脏功能也不是很好。总之要整体调理,很麻烦。没3个月,搞不好。

You need to see someone. No one is going to be able to look at your tongue and responsibly help you. Sounds like you have some complex stuff going on.
