Cold feet due to neuropathy - need help

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!

I have just read the results of my recent nerve conduction test suggesting that I have Pure Sensory Polyneuropathy. I also have lupus. My left foot is ice cold! I wear wool socks and trail running shoes most of the time but can’t get my foot to warm up unless I put it on a heating pad. Think I’ll try the toe warmers. Anyway, we have a lot in common and I have a lot to learn so hope to hear from you again. Blessings to you!

I use “toe warmers” similar to hand warmers. You can purchase them in Walmart or online. I tuck them into my shoes and my toes are warm all day. It’s says on the package that they last 8 hours, but I find they last much longer than that.
