For two days I got really cold feet and they were painful. My feet were numb and when I checked them they were very pale. I was crying in pain. It was my first time to experience it. The blood couldn't flow to my lower leg.
Did any of you experience this ever? How to avoid cold feet?

I'm very sorry to hear that and I am sorry that it took so long to respond to you also. I would suggest that you dress in layers of clothing or even invest in some heated or insulated socks. I have experienced being cold like that with my hands and feet when I am outside. I but good insulated gloves and socks.

HI Steph, it's never too late, winter is coming back again anyway so I need all the help I can get. Anyway, it happened that when I got here I didn't have all those appropriate attire for the weather. But now I think I'm ready for winter. Uh-oh! Crossing my fingers.

Hi there Jemina!
I have never experienced that. It's usually hot here and whenever I feel that it's really cold, I just wear thick socks depending on how cold it is.

not that bad because I would wear lots of socks and even my winter boots if I had to, you don't want to get sick from the cold in the house.

From what I have experienced, if your feet are cold, the rest of your body may be cold.So it is very important to keep your feet warm in winter.
You really must try to keep your feet warmer. If your heater is not warmer, put layers of socks on, as many as possible. If your feet start to become numb & painful, perhaps trying soaking them in very warm water.

Too bad you didn't bring with you your lola's "larak" (coconut oil) lol... I think you have to work out -that might help.

This is not usually a big problem for me, as I live in a warm climate. When my feet are cold, I just put on my slippers. Today we are again having a very warm day.

Good for you. I guess I just came to face the enemy unprepared. LOL!
Nevertheless, the condition is getting better now and I see the sun from time to time.
Also when I feel my feet are starting to get numb I move around the house and if the heater is on I put my feet next to it.

One winter in my old house, the building next door caught on fire. They gutted the building and as a result my house became unbearable and we froze much if not all of that winter. We had to wear our winter clothes inside! omg it was awful so yeah I can relate. I would wear socks and or slippers that should help keep your feet warm, if not wrap them in a blanket when you are at the computer or watching television or w/e or have a mini heater near by for emergencies.
