For those of you that suffer as I do with hot, sweaty flashes of misery, I have been to my doc today and again, another disappointment. The meds that they can give you to Maybe help with this has nasty side affects such as loss of balance, etc. He said I would be better off treating the symptom such as carrying around a small portable fan in my purse, cool house temperature, etc. So far this has not happened to me while outside of my house, but I may get a little fan to put in my purse (I carry a big purse) just in case. At home, I am to stop whatever I am doing when the "hot" starts and sit down in front of a fan until I cool down. My daughter says she has heard from somewhere of a cold pack that you put around your neck. It is supposed to really cool down the body. She is checking that out for me. I was hoping to have good news for us about the "hots", but not so much.
Sorry, Janice
