Maybe you need to go on more cruises to warm climes, or to Italy, to live near PMRpro!

In the winter here it can be at freezing or below for weeks at a time, day and night! Don't imagine Italy always equals warm!!!!

Still sounds good to me I nearly itch hiked there when I was 16. We got as far a Poskyhavo. In the far corner of Switzerland at the base of the Berneeno pass not spelled correctly 😲 It was 1000 miles from home. 😱 It was a very wet 3 weeks. 😩

Poschiavo, between Tirano and St Moritz.

I stayed at night in Andermatt once on our way back to Calais in early August, bit frisky but OK, we were in a VW camper van. Three days later on the radio they were telling us there had been a metre of new snow in Andermatt!

Not sure if you have specific condition that causes this. Think mine is due to diabetes.

In summer if I am sitting around I have to have fan on head end and woolly socks on feet. I find moving about a bit more.. .flexing feet, ankle, calf and thigh muscles if I can. I try to make sure the back of my thighs aren't taking full leg weight and cutting circulation. I either put feet up or put a couple of books under feet so knees just slightly higher than hips. Also helps flexing.

In bed I get restless legs and constantly move feet so a positive out of negative because warms feet. Even though you might feel you need extra blankets try not to cut circulation with weight of them. If allowed stick feet in bowl of warm water before bed and get blood moving by flexing again.

Hope something helps!

Thanks. One thing that does help.

Paddling in the sea. But too far to go every night. 70 Miles. πŸ˜©πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

So a dead sea salt foot bath might help?
