Hello,
Does anyone experience redness in their hands and or feet that is alleviated by raising the hands or feet above the heart? Does this sound like a symptom of Neuropathy? Erythromelalgia? If you experience this issue and have some form of Neuropathy does rasing your hands or feet above the heart help? I do not have searing pain and heat at night where I cannot cover my feet with the sheets, so not sure about Erythromelalgia? My hands or feet are either ice cold or red and warm. Since I do not have a formal DX, I am left searcing at this time. Thanks to anyone who responds! |

My toes get red and hot when I am having an "episode" and they are tingly. But I dont thinks its the same as yours cuz it does not feel better by raising them.
sorry I cant help, maybe someone will come along soon with advice. |

Hi Stacy2012,
Raising the feet or hands above the heart does not really make them feel better, just makes the swelling/redness in the feet or redness in the hands subside. |

Well I am stil trying to figure out what is going on with me, so Iam not sure I can offer any help.
Supposedly my PN is from hypo thyroid. Or, in my own opinion, purely self diagnosed, lol, I believe I am pre diabetic and spikes in glucose for years has caused my pn. Either way, I have not found any help with it yet. My dr is just waiting (hoping) thyroid meds fix it. But I do have severe burning in my toes. Right now it is just my toes. Sometimes they burn so bad I want to chop them off. I have no cure, nor do I take any drugs for it...yet. I just pray the episode goes quickly, and it does seem to come in episodes, mostly at night. sorry I cant offer anymore than that. |

Hi there,
I also experience redness quite frequently. My hands and feet also get really hot and feel like they are burning. Sometimes, I have to take my feet out of the bed because they feel so warm. Do any of you also get the opposite- freezing, painfully cold, blueish feet/ toes? I find these two alternate for me. |

Nope, no cold for me, almost sounds like a vacation, lol. I wonder what people do for the burning inferno, cuz I cant find anything to help it.
But I cant put my feet under any covers, not even a sheet. I let them hang out and if they are burning I have a fan that blows on them, which helps. |
