I have profound PN in my legs, and SFN in my upper body.

The soles of my feet became very shiny, my toes are purple because the nerve damage made blood flow to my toes restricted. Hot water will turn my toes completely white.

Sometimes one foot will be ice cold and the other rosy pink and warm. My toes will turn white. Usually both feet are icy cold and have to wear sock to bed.

Your neuropathy of whatever kind is causing the problems you have.

I don't have these problems in my hands, by the way.

But I do have SFN in my hands, and fingers and finger tips.

I take Gabapentin and it stops the pain, burning, itching and stabbing sensation in my scalp, face, lips, tongue, neck, arms hands and fingers.

Best wishes! Hugs, ElaineD
