… I am told this is a result of the medication and is called neuropathy. I am sitting here on this hot July day with a fan on and a heated blanket but my feet feel like lumps of ice. 

Anyone else having similar symptoms?

  • Hi Meerkat57

    Sorry to hear you are suffering with freezing cold feet, especially when the weather is so good.

    I have this problem, along with numbness with my hands and feet and it's a side effect of the Bortezomib and Thalidomide which I'm on as part of my treatment. I discussed this with my Consultant and she reduced the dosages on both medications which has helped but not cured. I've been given co-codomel to help with any pain too.

    Although not ideal. I've had to resort to wearing socks to get some sort of comfort, especially through the night.

    Hope you find a solution and start to feel better soon.

    Hi Paulo, Yes, that’s what they explained to me. I’m not on any tablets now but still have the sensation. I have some lovely thick sparkly socks too .
