Cold feet due to neuropathy - need help

A lot of BRILLIANT suggestions! I can tell it’s from experience, as yours are more plentiful than mine, but some that I e tried have mirrored your results.
I’m wondering how you feel about salt though (as in ingesting) I recall running a race 20 years ago and an old doctor (OBGYN) friend have a Raynaud’s episode in his hands, they turned purple, and his wife going around asking if anyone had a package of salt on them, like from a restaurant. I’ve forgotten that until now - have you ever heard of salt helping, or have you tried it? I can’t see it, but now wonder why they wanted it

Gracias for your posting😊.
Ingesting salt deliberately, or applying it, is so out of the question. I have a very low sodium diet, as does my husband, due to high blood pressure and how sodium can contribute to ankle/lower leg swelling. Just infinitesimal grains of Badia Kosher Salt because it is also Gluten-Free. Use as little to no sodium in baking also. I've learned through trial and error where the "sweet spot" is so that baked goods still turn out well. Same with sugar. Tea and coffeee are delish without sweeteners. I use minimal salt (and sometimes none) in meals also. There are so many natural salts in many foods, so I not only keep that in mind when preparing meals, but also read all labels when shopping, and when selecting supplements. Sigh🙄! Yes, takes time but it is what it is...😊
