Good evening @cjmasters and welcome to Connect. We are a pretty large group of folks who believe that by sharing our experiences we can learn from each other. How long have you been suffering from neuropathy and those cold feet? I just checked and mine are cold right now. Do you know what is a bit strange? My feet feel like they are freezing tonight. However, if I ask someone to touch them, they will tell me they are not very cold.

Does the cold move up above your ankles? I also have cold hands and both of my peripheral appendages have what I call tingle tangles........and numbness. Like you, I do not like to wear socks to bed or even around the house. I do wear Hoka shoes with socks during the day. They help with stability as well as temperature.

Would you be able to share a bit more about your neuropathy? Have you received a diagnosis? Do you know what caused it in the beginning? What medications or treatments have you found to be helpful?

You might find some very helpful information at both of these neuropathy sites.

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.

I’ve had it for a lot longer than when I said anything to my doctor. Probably been on gabapentin for four years.
Originally 1 100 mg pill per day but now 300 mg once a day. They had changed it to 3 300 mg per day but I started falling from that much. The cold does not run up my ankles. So far just my feet. I have no clue what caused it. I’m not diabetic. I wear shoes that have support in them. My husband says that my feet don’t feel cold to him so I wonder if
it just be that is the sensation that the neuropathy has.
