Feet And Legs

[redvanman]

Hi i have had cold feet and legs all winter i go to bed and they get warm any suggestions what to take PLEASE

[Iluvspikey]

two pairs of sock and some thermal long-johns they are so light but warm. got mine from Damart

I wear 3 pair of socks and thermal slippers all year round. I know its not the thick duvet that warms them as they warm if I lie anywhere.. So I'll follow your thread to see what advice you get.

I've had exactly the same 'problem'. And when I get out of bed, they start feeling cold again.
Its baffling me. I wonder could Sqad explain it.

Could it be anything to do with blood flow, hence making a difference when the legs are raised?

Thermals or pyjamas make a big difference diespite being so thin. I've suffered from cold extremities all of my life and find that apart from clothing, a good brisk rub works wonder.
As far as winter goes, a young lady in an outdoor shop set me on the right track as far as hand/foot warmers go too. Don't grip them or put them either side of your feet but put them on the back of your hands inside gloves or on the top of your foot inside your sock. It warms the blood on the way to your extremities (apparently).

Are you on any medications?
Have you any existing medical conditions?
How old are you?

I have found that socks, brushed bedsock type, with hardly any elastic on the tops, keep my feet warmest, worn together with fleece jogging bottoms (M and S) - as a person who suffers from the cold - thus speaks the voice of experience. Always have an electric blanket to warm the bed up, never get into a cold bed.
