I'm in the same boat and 19 years later still having the hot flashes. I do find that drinking any alcohol makes it worse so I avoid that. My friends know to turn on the air conditioner before I get there ha ha. I have found that I never wear long sleeves here, hardly ever wear long pants or socks just in the coldest of cold. I dress in layers with always a short sleeve shirt on the bottom layer. I always carry a ponytail band in my pocket, always a paper towel in my pocket to pat down the sweat on my brow. I have found that after the first couple of years here the heat doesn't bother me nearly as much. I even play golf when it is in the high eighties which for me a few years ago was unbelievable.
