My crps is always cold. (I prefer that term, I have used it since I first heard it.... add an "A" after the r, and you get how I feel, lol) I get burning hot "spots" on my legs mainly, about the size of a silver dollar... but the rest of my affected limbs are always cold.
I deal with it by dressing in sweats and wool socks, lol. I always have slippers on, too. Even if the weather outside is 95 degrees, I still have on my socks, which looks awful silly with shorts, I tell you what.  I don't even take them off during "private moments" with Michael anymore, I am ashamed to admit, lol. But any more than 1/2 an hour w/o those thick socks and slippers, and my legs go bluish-purple and hurt five times as bad.
I also go through two heating pads every three years... they just don't hold up to continual use. And let's not forget the hot soaky baths... in winter, on the worst days, I might take two even three baths a day.
