Chris, what do you do for your Mr. Neuropathy visits to your legs and feet? My feet are cold most of the time, calves hot, and at night the feet won't get warm usually even with special sock. Arthritis and damaged toes tend to make it uncomfortable for me to wear most socks, but need something for warmth. I use the frankincense and myrrh/coconut oil at night then the socks. I think it's helping. Less pain and other symptoms. Also, my legs get extra hot....is that the PN or am I just a 'hot mama'?????
Thanks for advice. Maybe some more THC and cream on legs and feet???
Blessings and enjoy this lovely, stormy (in Jax) night. ess

Good afternoon @ess77. My freezing cold comes from my feet to about halfway up to my knee. It is as if my skin was a layer of melting ice. It usually makes an appearance as soon as I turn in for the night or lie down for a nap. There is no pain or discomfort. There is no itching or inflammation and I frequently have ice packs on my hands and wrists to fight the itch. So....the bottom line is, I have not done much but tolerate the melting ice on my legs while my nightly 2:1 tincture helps me nod off and my dreams take over.
I wonder, does it matter if you have numbness or not? I never have worn socks to bed. To be truthful, I have usually had a Cavalier puppy sleeping with me and keeping my feet warm. Or, like now, I have someone with a size 11 warm foot lying next to me. He says my feet are cool but not cold.
Regarding the cream or balm.....I use a 1:3 now for acute pain and a 3:1 for chronic pain.
May you be safe and protected from inner and outer harm.
Chris
