Cold Feet, What to do Options

[timeless]

My feet are freezing all the time no matter if I have on heavy socks or not. I keep a hair fryer nearby to warm my socks and dry them throughout the day. I change them two or three times a day because when I take them off they are wet from sweat.

Anyone got any suggestions on what to do to help this. Any suggestions would be welcome no matter how bizar them may seem ready to try about anything at this point and time!!!!

When I have this come up and it's possible environment wise, I put a hot water bottle on my feet! (Be sure and wrap the bottle so it doensn't burn you). I don't like using anything electric on my body (like electrick blankets, etc.) so the hot water bottle works well. It keeps me very warm. It isn't always possible in all siti\uations, but I use it when I can. Hope this helps. Kathleent

I wear slippers all the time because my feet will freeze if I am barefoot. A good footrub by your partner can help bring circulation back down into your feet also. I have circulation probs due to diabetes. Sometimes the only thing that works is a hot shower because once the feet get cold the whole body is cold! Oh! You can also lay on your bed and bend your knees. Now rub your feet up and down vigorously on the sheet. It creates friction and will introduct warmness into your soles!

I would suggest some of the nice thermal hiking socks that wick away moisture, they get a bit pricey but with care really last. Also wool and rag wool with some thin cotton liner socks I've found to be very warm. For evenings I made a ricebag out of an old worn turtleneck which I can heat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and it stays warm for hours. I like it because it drapes about anything that needs heat, so it usually starts at my toes and ends up by my neck, only to be flung off when the hot flush starts!
