Guess I'm lucky - lately, if I just strip down some I'm cooled down. But I
do understand and experience that terrible 'hot, hotter, hottest' feeling.
In fact recently I had shoulder surgery and had to wear a sling 24/7 and
from time to time I had to remove it just to survive. The surgeon asked me
if I had experienced hot and cold flashes and nodded when I said yes,
emphatically. Whatever that means.
I have in the past found that many cool showers are quite refreshing. When
we are wilderness canoeing, from time to time I have dipped my clothes in
the water and then worn them. It's hard to put on wet clothes but it is
cool.
Most of all I try for air conditioning. If I work outside, I try hard to
ensure that I get in and cooled down frequently. When our power was off
last time, I just melted down.
Maybe the cool showers will help.
