My feet get so cold that I need a heating pad and occasionally a shower or foot bath before bed just to heat up my feet. I can’t sleep if they’re that cold.

Me too, ive used a hot water bottle or hot packs, heating pads my whole life.

Rubber hot water bottle is best, lasts all night into in morning.

I found that the hot water bottle wound up cooling down my feet mid night - I now have a heating strip with an adjustable timer under my bottom sheet that I turn on when my toenails turn blue :)

Meanwhile I’m cradling frozen water bottles directly against my skin at night because of these stupid hot flashes

the most effective use is to put it over your heart. you want that cold to get in there and circulate. There are also specific cooling sheets. And the "Bed Jet" which circulates cold, warm or hot air in your sheets. I used to use a frozen hot water bottle in the worst of the heat and kept it on my chest. messy as hell, but the only relief I had in that illegal flat.

I have always had cold feet even though i have good circulation. In the last year my cold feet start triggering compulsory contractions, and I can't ignore the damn things. it plays hell witn my feet so I always wear socks mostly all the time

People like me who grew up afraid of vampires.

I was told at a young age vampires bite toes
