How to sleep with neuropathy in feet?
My feet always feel tingly and sometimes even burn because of neuropathy, especially when I lie down. It's so hard to find a comfortable position to sleep in. Does anyone have tips for this?

Hey, don't stress too much about this, it just makes the tingling worse. Honestly, I found that keeping a soft pillow under my calves so my feet don't touch the heavy bedsheet really helps. Also, keep the room temperature normal, too much cold can trigger it.

True, keeping the feet elevated slightly really does make a difference. I also wear very loose, thin cotton socks to bed so the cool air doesn't touch the skin directly.

Try massaging your feet with a little lukewarm mustard oil before sleeping to improve blood flow, it worked wonders for me. But please go see a doc if you feel complete numbness or severe burning, don't ignore it.

In my experience, using a bed cradle to lift the blanket off my feet was a lifesaver because even the lightest sheet felt painful. I am not a doctor so I can't say what will cure it, but this small trick helped me get some shut-eye.
