Icy feet and ankles with Small Fiber Neuropathy....anyone?

Chris @artscaping, I've wondered if it might be that the small fiber neuropathy makes it hard to differentiate between cold or hot. I have had times when my feet were telling they were freezing even though I could touch my feet with my hands and they didn't feel cold...weird. I did find an article that mentions it.

Cold Feet That Aren’t Cold to the Touch May Indicate Neurologic Problem: https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/cold-feet-that-arent-cold-to-the-touch-may-indicate-neurologic-problem/

Same here, John. My feet "think" that they're freezing, but they're not cold to touch. Weird!

Hi @johnbishop, thanks for your wonderments about the ability to differentiate between cold or hot.

I do agree with the author that it is probably a neurologic problem. However, it appears that he says that if you get a diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy sooner, it is more likely that it can be treated. Hmmmmm???????
