I am more sensitive with hands and feet getting cold, and that can be a major distraction and performance issue in me feeling my feet. But heat is bothersome too. I try to stay in shade as much as possible during the summer, as I don’t seem to sweat to help release the internal heat. Getting in the swimming pool helps. I avoid hot showers and saunas. My water must be lukewarm, so I let my dishes soak awhile in hot water before I immerse my hands in the sink to wash them. It was extreme when my PN started 7 years ago, but once getting to the right dosage of Gabapentin for me, the extreme temperature sensations lessened in intensity and duration.

The information about gabapenton helping is appreciated, as well as all the small adaptations needed. I hadn’t thought about the summer months and how that will differ. Thank you for the input.
