Default My feet are freezing!
How do I get my feet warm? Socks and shoes don't work. The only time they are warm is in bed.......and I'm in bed a lot! But, I can't understand....I have sooooo much numbness and they're still FREEZING. I don't see my new neuro doc till Oct. 14!

A daily dose of vitamin E (200iu) helps me. E is good for circulation. In cold weather my feet used to feel like ice. They're still fairly cold, but no longer like they're dead. LOL. If you're really desperate, you can find battery run heated socks at outdoors man's stores. No joke. Those & rechargeable batteries will keep you from going broke.

I have a problem with cold feet, and have been eyeing these socks on Amazon.

Default Hi
I have a friend with freezing feet due to MS and she wears possum fur socks which are suppose to be incredibly warm. Also maybe just soak feet in warm/hot bath water to warm them? I sometimes have trouble getting warm and I have to take hot baths to warm up.

I wear leg warmers starting in cool weather, and all thru winter.

They warm the blood before it gets to the feet. I find them more effective than socks.

Application of the magnesium lotion (Morton's Epsom lotion) and/or soaks of epsom salts also open up the blood vessels and help keep the feet warmer. I apply the lotion starting just below the knees, on the shins down past the ankles and to the tops of the feet.

I have a heating pad in my bed at the foot area. I slide in bed a few times during the day I also have a heating pad on the floor under my desk. Keep it on low for when I am on computer for long periods. I'm sure this helps a lot. Keeps me from getting into those CRISIS situations. Cold feet can hurt, especially around the toes.
