Really fed up. Been having hot flashes all day and there is no way I'm going to get to sleep like this. I have a fan on full power right in my face and it isn't doing a damn thing to help! ugh.

What you need is some freezer packs...you know...the plastic ones with water in? The smaller ones can be wedged down your bra in your cleavage. I know it sounds extreme, but when you're suffering...you don't give a shit. I'd recommend just putting them in the fridge though, or you might die...I think.
I ended up having a cold shower.
Any reason you should be having hot flushes other than the weather? You seem too young for that.
I slept reasonably well under the hot circumstances with a few weird dreams about big stuffed mushrooms in an oven.

Sautee onions until clear and starting to brown and then either add a glug of balsamic vinegar or half tsp of balsamic glaze. Continue cooking until liquid has reduced off. Serve on steak.

PCOS...and all that jazz!
Also if you can chill the nape of your neck, your fringe and your pressure points it convinces your body is cooler than it is.
An ice cube can help.
