I'm a fan of using a handheld fan. I'm too far beyond to get embarassed by what I need to do. So I carry a small fan my sister brought me back from China in my pocketbook and take it out when the flushes start at work; also bring a small lightweight down comforter to meetings and wrap my leg to keep it warm otherwise keep it in my office for my leg. I think if you can keep your head cool, the flushes don't seem to get out of control. I'm just put out because I stopped having hot flashes long before my accident, but then they came back with a vengence. Natural fabrics like cotton dry quicker and don't hold in the heat like synthetics. You've go my empathy and sorry I don't have a miracle cure.
