Hi,
I also have HF, and have had it for years. My friends think it is the weirdest thing when i tell them about my HF. Great to find this blog!
I have recently started an diet to look for Food intolerances using the Virgin Diet as a guide.
see http://www.amazon.com/The-Virgin-Diet-Foods-Pounds/dp/0373892713.
The author JJ Virgin has you take 7 food types out of your diet. It is hard, but may be worth a shot.
I have only done this for a week now, and noticed that I have not had HF for the past 4 nights. I hope that I finally found the culprit! I will keep you posted.

I recall putting a wet wash cloth on my feet at age 9. this failed because the cloth warmed up. I’ve had intermittent hot feet ever since, and I’m a senior. I had a stressful childhood, so I suspect stress could be the key factor for those that have no physical diagnosis to pin HF on. The best advice I’ve seen on this site is to get the feet cold before attempting to go to sleep. If this doesn’t work, you might need to recognize what stresses are in your life and find a way to reduce them. If none of this works, you can always go the doctor route in case your problem is physical, or even mental. But for most people cold applications and stress reduction will do the job. Good luck.

What is this horrible condition.? Know one seems to know. I have had it for years sometimes worse than others. It makes bedtime stressful
I have resorted to taking a frozen bottle of powerade to bed with me and keeping my feet on it till i can fall asleep. My daughter is fourteen and she has the same problem though not as often. Must be hereditary.

Ive been struggling with this for months! It started with my husband having HF and then, all of a sudden now I have it, and he’s fine most of this time. I miss my cold feet! And i never thought i would say that!
I’ve tried so many of these remedies, and haven’t had any luck. It’s so good to know there are others suffering with me right now..

This started for me 3 months ago, they think as a side effect of Metoprolol . I also have some numbness in my big toes to. My EMG and neuro tests are normal. I don’t think anyone understands how uncomfortable the HF are. For me it’s the tops of my feet and my toes. I have tried a few things but when it gets real bad I use those cold gel fever strips for kids that peel and stick and stay cold for 8 hours.

I too have HF. It runs in my family along with Restless Leg Syndrome. I’ve found the HF is worse when I am anemic. Check your iron levels people; it helped me immensely!
