Sorry, the title should have said "Feet feel WARM before the attack?"
Lately I have noticed that my feet and legs, sometimes my entire body feels very warm right before my symptoms erupt. My internal body temperature doesn't change. When my feet (and sometimes hands) feel like ice my symptoms are slight or hardly present. Does anyone feel this?

This has gotten me so nuts right now that I don't want to put socks on my cold feet as I don't want my symptoms to start. I know I must sound like a completely insane person, but trying to figure out triggers for a disease that has unknown variables is really effecting me.

Absolutely. I get this less now that I'm medicated more. You have super cold hands and feet, then sometimes they get warm. You will get wet, hot, warm sensations all over the place. I was also getting pelvis and rib squeezing that was warm, gross, and painful. It made me a little nuts, but you can get used to it. What I can't get used to is the burning that I get now.

Yes, I can tell before bed when my my lower body is so hot it feels like I'm near a campfire that it might be a long night.

I find that if I keep my bedroom very cool it helps so much.
I had to buy a window unit for my room even though we have central air because I need it that much cooler.

My feet usually get ice cold once I lay down in bed. If I haven't been very careful about what I eat, I will wake up with the burning feet sometime around 3:00 a.m. That's when I get up and apply my menthol lotion, and am able to go back to sleep in 10 or 15 minutes.

My legs sometimes get the warm sensation, but it doesnt precede a "bout" of PN. But i believe it was a new symptom of PN though. the warm sensation is from the nerves affected by PN, most likely the cold and heat sensors.
