Anyone out there with Erythromelalgia?

Recently I tried using frozen packs to cool my burning feet.. It helps and is easier than soaking in cold water or sitting in the shower spraying them in the middle of the night.. Hope this helps you...

What helps me at nights is Asper cream with 4% Lidocaine. I rub it on the top of my toes and foot and bottom. Sometimes it lasts all night and sometimes I have to repeat it. Good luck./

I tried the frozen gel packs & what relief but then the podiatrist said eventually it could damage my skin. I'm now using water bottles filled with water & keep in the refrigerator to stay cold, they really help when I have flare ups which is almost daily, its the ones like people use on the heads for a headache. Sometimes I put ice cubes in the bags to help them to stay colder longer.
