@rwinney HIiRachal. I asked my rheumatologist today about my neuropathy in my thighs and she told me Medicine doesn't have any answers. I found out for myself when the burn starts I apply a cold washcloth that really helps and stays that way for quite a while . I was told by my foot Dr to put my feet on ice when this happens . Have you ever tried this?

@lioness Yes ma'am I have and still do. I'm big on heat and ice. It works best for me.

Hello. I'm Sunnyflower. I'm sitting under my down comforter with heat on my feet, ice gels (heavy but the best) and my hands in a rolled up heatopad. My norm. My knees are the most painful neuropathy/arthritis and cold works. The comforter keeps the icegels cold for over 2 hours, And the microwaveable heat thingy warm for hours too.
I have Raynaud's Dz goo so my feet./toes and hands/fingers get so cold they hurt! My bones ache! At the same time, my toes feel hot from the neuropathy. Like liquid nitrogen gets so cold it burns.
I hate having to be in bed so much, but to get relief, I have to. Also bc ysm so weak.
I hope this helps in some way.
Many blessings, Sunnyflower. 🙏💕
