Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hi Donna: Once again we are on the same page. My left one is always cold and the right one warm. After a warm shower one day I got out of the tub and my left foot looked like it had a 'red sock' on it, so this seems to be a problem that goes along with PLS. Jo.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 I know that hunters use a heated sock. How would that work for those of you with cold feet? I think you can find them wherever hunting supplies are sold. Laurel Re:Cold Feet > I have this problem too and a hot shower helps my feet warm up. > Sometime my feet turn blue.
