I have diopathic Peripheral Neuropathy, not diabetic.
Electric leg warmers would be perfect for me. The only ones I found had to be plugged into a charger all the time—a cable similar to a cell phone charger.
In 1999, my PN started with the balls of my feet numb. My PN symptoms have gone through many changes over the decades!
Now, my problem is that both of my shins feel ice cold. I wear flannel PJ bottoms, which help a bit. I use an electric throw in the living room when in my recliner, and an electric blanket is turned up to maximum heat at night. That is the only way I can bear the pain.
I do take Hydrocodone for PN and arthritis pain.
Hi, @kathyv66 ,
That is interesting, and it sounds like those socks are a blessing. Was wearing them compatible with shoes or did you find you could walk safely with just the socks?
I use a foot-sized electric heating pad every night of the year -- otherwise the pain and frigidness of my feet would keep me up all night. In the morning I wake up with no foot pain at all, but during the daytime it comes and goes.
Thank you for sharing something that you find helpful!
