I keep lemonade icey poles in the freezer for summer.I carry a bottle of cold water everywhere I go and a hand fan in my handbag.I also keep hand fans all over the house.I layer my clothes.I also take a very low dose antidepressant called Endep(10mgs)and that helps,particularly at night.It doesn't seem to give me any side effects.Hot flushes are the pits and Tamoxifen cranks them up.
