Cold feet due to neuropathy - need help

It’s sad that Gabapentin didn’t work, given that it’s one of the better choices for those with liver concerns. My initial dosage didn’t work for me, but in time, with increases, I got to a point where the extreme cold extremities happened much less frequently and became so much more tolerable than the first few months when my severe neuropathy suddenly started. I hope you find a manageable solution, because for me, I think the pain and misery from cold feet and hands is worse than normal neuropathy nerve pain.

Hi there @dbeshears1. This cold feet discussion is very interesting. My feet are usually "cool". When they become extremely cold.......they feel like liquid ice and actually become untouchable. Actually, I can go to bed with warm feet and be awakened with freezing feet. So....wrapping them in a blanket doesn't seem to help. I am better off just letting them be and trying to go back to sleep or get to sleep.
Here's how my life partner helps me. He always has warm feet so he moves his over onto mine. Now isn't that a sweet thing to do? He also doesn't think my feet feel as cold to him as they do to me because they are part of my body and not his.
My feet can also become freezing cold while riding in the car or walking along the river. Is that true for you too? Does the cold move up to mid-calf? Mine stays about ankle height.
Let's stay in touch on this dilemma. There has to be a solution just waiting for discovery.
May you have a restful evening.
Chris
