    It works for me too. Something about the wool that I have not found an explanation as to why it helps. 

    Anybody out there got an explanation as to why?

    You have  that right. I have been wearing wool socks for several years.  I came across it by chance.  My daughter knitted me a pair of wool sox to wear.  I began using them at night, this was several years before I was diagnosed with PN.  I actually though arthritis was causimg my cold feet. Even now that I am getting treatment from a nuerologist my feet and legs continue to worsen.  I needn't  go into detail as I am sure some of you are suffering in  the same manner. In the meantime until a real cure is available I continue to wear my wool sox.  Going one better I have discovered Alpaca (sp?) Wool is even more desirable.   Cheers, Rose

    Yes!!  Wool helps.  Last year by chance I found out when I was looking for soft insoles.  Someone recommended sheepskin and I followed up.  I believe there is something in the natural fibre - fur from a mammal ??  I found a medical wool supply store nearby.  And it is not the old fashioned scratchy wool socks.  These are very soft and are actually angora goat wool.  They are over thirty bucks a pair but they really do help the soles of my feet.  I am able to be on my feet much longer than when I wear normal synthetic material socks, even diabetic socks!  I even got sheepskin slippers, deep and luxurious.  They are a godsend.  Wool!!  Spread the word!
