Let's be clear here: cold feet and hands are not a neuropathy issue but a poor blood circulation, mostly at the venous level..
By the contrary, neuropathy is causing a lot of burning...your legs will be on fire, plus needles and pricks, numbness, cramps, pain etc.
You need circulatory extremities ultrasound ordered by a podiatrist..

I think we should all be reviewing our symptoms with our neurologists and primaries. Cold sensations could be circulation issues, but also having heat sensations at times are not an indication of circulation. There are a lot of articles listing these heat/cold sensations as a Neuropathy symptoms for some (esp those with Diabetes). Some neuropathies affect our internal thermostats. My PN all came on within 10 days (from walking to wheelchair, and it took 6 months for me to get out of the wheelchair). It came with the immediate alternating intolerable heat/cold sensations in hands & feet, with my Neurologists instantly knowing that it was part of my neuropathy, as little as they know about it. I’ve had circulation tests and all is clear. I wouldn’t rule anything out, but we all need to discuss our symptoms with our medical doctors and ask that all pertinent tests are performed to try to get to the root cause and hopefully a correction.
