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 _________________________________________________________________ Attention all humans. We are your photos.
