Hello to you lovely ladies on AI’s
I've been on Letrozole for over a year and am still getting hot flushes, worse now I’ve just returned from the coast where the lovely sea breezes helped loads!
i live in northern Bucks so humidity in these weather conditions is high and it makes it so much worse!
any bright ideas to help? I’ve found a hand held rechargeable fan is brilliant.....
hugs xxx
Thanks moomy yeah I have a handheld fan got from Amazon wouldn't be without it I get frustrated when going out especially in morning after putting makeup and fixing hair you think I had been out in rain all night ha ha oh well there are worse things people are dealing with nite nite xx
We have a big fan and light combination on the bedroom ceiling- a godsend in very hot weather, though DH likes the heat
I have been known to put towels n the freezer then wrap myself in them, either up and about or in bed. I have a fan in every room, and wear cold(freezered) headbands, abpnd of course a hat outside, carry large quantities of water with me, and drink loads, with the usual result of course!. I always wear a hat outside, dous rather spoil spoil thehair and makeup, but what can you do???
Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
