Knowing that you could have any of those effects early make you stop and think, don’t they. Oh my goodness, your post made me remember when I was first starting all of this and I would be doing something and the hot flash would come and stay and my poor husband was being frozen out. Lol. Fans and A/C everywhere, even in the winter. I will say they are better now when it is cool, but in the summer I just have to drink constantly because I sweat constantly in a hot flash.
Do you get one when you change from outside to inside, or when you lay down at night?

ALWAYS a hot flash when I climb into bed!

I get them randomly but find that fans and cooler temps do help quite a bit. When I was walking outside during the summer, I really, quite honestly, couldn't even tell when I was having a hot flash anymore because I was just so hot, LOL. One thing I have noticed that helps is not wearing socks. For some reason, my feet are like car radiators - if my feet are cool, I stay cooler. It's weird but it's the only thing that consistently helps. I also, wear light clothing. I'm a QVC nut, so I buy a lot of Susan Graver's liquid knit clothing and Renee Greenstein's como jersey clothing. That helps a ton!!!! It is rather life-changing.
