Thanks for your reply! I don't notice my cold feet too much until I go to bed at night, that's when my cold feet actually hurt, and they will keep me from falling asleep. If my feet were already warm when I got into bed, thick socks (and sometimes leg warmers) will prevent that burning sensation, but if they're already cold I warm one foot at a time by tucking my toes under my other leg. Once I have one foot warm, I switch and warm up the other foot. It takes a lot longer than a heating pad, but chiblains aren't worth it! My best advice, don't let your feet get cold. My hands don't bother me as much anymore, but they're pretty forgiving if I run them under lukewarm water and then warmer water after they've warmed up a bit, and I have warmed them under my arms too.
