COLD FEET !
Rather minor , but interested in any opinions ? Stroke 2 years on. Seems worst when fatigued. Go to bed & then cold feet, woolly socks ? . But why , resting , medication, any thoughts ? Thanks David.
My hand and foot on my stroke side are often cold. I assume this is because the muscles don't work so the blood isn't pumping round. It seems worse at night when it feels like I have a block of ice in the bed.
David. Probably a circulation issue. My stroke side is now my cold side with left arm and hand colder than left leg and foot. When left hand is cold I put a woollen glove on.
Thanks Janet , just ordered electric blanket. We know how to spoil ourselves. Thanks David.
Thanks John, always good to hear, from you. David.
Our colin the same his left side freezing I wrap a throw over around his left arm to keep it warm which he finds annoying ?
I have a foot 'temperature' problem too but it's the other way ! My stroke was six months ago and down my left side. Fortunately it was mild and I'm feeling a lot better now and back at work (albeit from home and I still don't drive any distance) but my RIGHT foot has felt like it's got its own special hyperactive heating system since March - and I first noticed it when I had the MRI scan in hospital! I've mentioned it to drs and a podiatrist and they have no explanation.
COLD FEET !
THANKS Pam , strange, what can happen ? Thick woolly socks out & sheepskin booties. We know how to spoil ourselves, in our little worlds . ? David.
Hi David, I also have a temperature problem in general since my stroke 4 years ago. I'm always cold, even when everyone else is moaning about the heat. Unfortunately just another issue we have to deal with in this nightmare !!
