Hot flashes can be incredibly disruptive and frustrating to deal with throughout the day. Many community members find relief through strategies like layering clothing for easy removal, using cooling products like fans or cooling towels, staying hydrated, and discussing options with their healthcare team - sharing what works can help others find effective approaches for managing this common challenge.

Carry a large ice water in one of those insulated water bottles with you everywhere. Drink more of it than you ever thought possible. I swear it knocks ‘em down. You will trade hot flashes with having to pee all of the time but what can you do! lol
