Cold feet due to neuropathy - need help

Like @jeffrapp , any contact, even loose socks, cause burning pain for me. The irony is that I have the burning pain simultaneously to really cold feet. I think that I've just gotten used to the coldness, uncomfortable as it is some of the time. My wife knits me a pair of wool socks every year for Christmas, but I have to wear a thin pair of cotton socks under them because the knits and purls hurt my feet. She's a little offended by that. But she doesn't have CIDP.

I also get shoes that are a size larger so there's room for extra insoles, and extra room for my toes.

Isn't neuropathy an interesting thing?

Jim, I too have CIDP with neuropathy (up to my knees). I have lupus which also causes Raynauds like Chris described (purple toes). I take a medication for Raynauds and high blood pressure (amlodipine) that helps both and I know it helps the cold feet. You both might ask your Drs about a low dose of it to help the circulation in your feet. It relaxes arteries and improves blood flow to the feet. As long as your BP isn’t low, it should be fine to try.
I’m going to try your ideas for warming my feet!
