My feet ache when they get cold. If I lie on my back the duvet makes my toes ache so I tuck one foot down the side of the bed. I pulled the duvet up round my ears the other night and my toes, without socks, stuck out of the bed and my cat grabbed hold of my foot with her claws. She got a swift kick with the other foot.when i can think of something profound i will update this.

matthew55 Dependending on which part(s) of your feet are involved, get gel pads, bootees or boots from OT/Physio/Nurse - pressure areas are *not* something you have to just live with, there are lots of products available.
Have you tried one of your Dolly π rugs under them? xxβDiagnosed 03/2007. Sporadic Definite ALS/MND Spinal (hand) Onset.

I think you have a hospital bed? Check to see if extends - often they do - if not, can the end of the bed be removed?βDiagnosed 03/2007. Sporadic Definite ALS/MND Spinal (hand) Onset.

Were did you get the sheepskin.
We are looking at getting a ripple air matteress. Thomas' feet touch the bottom of the bed board, we have a thin foam yoga block.
He doesn't want to extend the bed as he uses it to move around.
