    Hi ,it would appear so ,,my feet are always cold ,,,,,I asked for a pair of UGG slippers for Xmas ,,,,,but they only did those with no backs ,,,,( that I find dangerous on the stairs ) so my daughter bought me a pair from Debenhams called JUST SLIPPERS,,,,,,they are real sheepskin and are full slippers ,,,,they were £60 ,,,but worth it ,,,,,at the moment they are in the sale at £25 ,,,,,so I've bought another pair ,,,,they're the best slippers ever ,,, ,I often have a hot water bottle at night in bed ,( I don't like electric blankets ) and during the day when I'm just sitting I have one of those fleece throws over me ,,,,I did feel old using one ,,,and  daft ,,,and embarrassed ,but my daughter informed me that thousands of these throws are sold to all ages every day ,,,,,and I have quite a few different ones now ,,,,a beautiful shaggy fur one I had for a  Xmas present at a cost of £80  from my daughter is one of my favourites ,at the moment ,,,,,,that my Grandaughter grabs when she comes over ,,,,',,,,

    its not a case of turning up the heating ,,,,,,but in answer to your question ,,,,YES I think it is ,,,,,,,keep warm ,,

    My experience of cold feet, is not related to my lung condition, its mainly if the weather is very cold / windy, if I sit still for too long or if I don't have enough layers on for the temperature when sitting around inside.

    But I have noticed  since having a lung condition my tummy gets cold, maybe because it sticks out the most ha ha ;O)

    When view tv with feet up I tend to site with rug over my legs and feet, this seems to help and also the heat pad is great.  You can even get those slipper you can heat in the microwave now similar to the wheaty bags and then there is the heated foot warmer that fits both feet inside.

    Keep warm, this storm Imogen is chilling things down some in UK
