Hello,

My neuropathy is moderately severe numbness in my toes, feet, and lingers to my knees, I have had it for approx 4 to 5 years, with occasional flairs, it appears to be slow progressing, with no known cause. I am on no medication at this point for my neuropathy.

I live in WNY, I find in summer in the very hot weather, the condition stays stable.

However in August when the temperature starts to change, for example, rapidly from from 90 to 60 or 70's my feet get VERY cold, almost like they might get on a cold winter day.

I also appear to have more noticeable numbness. Once winter is here to stay for a bit, my neuropathy sort of levels out again.

Also, I find my feet very uncomfortable in air conditioning. including the car, if I have sandals on. This is a big problem, causing my feet to get so uncomfortably cold, which I am thinking must have something to do with my neuropathy.

Lately, this has been the case with the temperature, and I have been really having a time of it with significantly cold feet, also including a noticeable amount of new numbness in my feet. DARN! Just when I sort of put my neuropathy on the back burner too.

I have been wearing warmer socks at night, sneaker and socks in the day, when I realize it got cooler all of a sudden.

I try to remember to wear socks and sneakers if I am going to be in the car long with the air on, but still in the evening my feet are so uncomfortably cold, I am tempted to place my feet in warm water, or put a heating pad on them.

I also suffer from occasional migraines, so the past week with weather, in addition to many barometer changes, I have been in much discomfort. To night that includes a bad migraine, and cold numb feet.

So I hurt from top to bottom! I took aspirin, it did not help, so then a foricet for my head pain. That pill has caffiene in it, so now I am wide awake, I still don't feel good, and feel depressed on top of it all.

At any rate, does anyone else experience a difference in their neuropathy with rapid temperature changes.
