Evening Cold in Feet and Thighs

Lately I have been suffering with extreme aching and cold sensation in my feet and thighs coming on in the evening. Even though I split my evening doses of 1800mg Gabapentin in half at 6 and 9, my aching and cold feet and thighs has been unbearable! Several evenings i have to resort to my heating pad and with some relief when they start to warm, but this has turned into an all night ritual. My home is not cold—and my circulation is adequate. Any others experiencing these symptoms???

I don't have any advice nor explanation for your cold, but you are taking your gabapentin wrong. Taking more than 600 mg at a time is a waste. Assuming you go to bed at 10 or so take 600 mg at 9, 600 mg at 7 and 600 mg at 5.

Are you sitting for long periods of time? I find if I’m sitting in the evening with very little moving around, my feet and legs get extremely cold. I usually have to use wool socks to warm my feet during the night. I have to set a reminder every hour to get up and walk for a bit.

I could have written your post, I suffer terribly with cold feet and thighs especially when sitting or in bed.
