Mine often tend to come when I get hot (and I have heat-sensitivity from my meds so I had issues before this). So lots of very cold showers this summer. I've not figured out what to do for the nighttime ones. I am trying to figure out if a cooling mattress pad or a new mattress is the better idea. My current mattress is memory foam and since I get hot I have hot flashes. And it also hurts me. I walk like a very old woman when I get up in the mornings.

Gabapentin is supposed to help hot flashes. I think I learned that on here. I'm not sure how to know if it is helping when I'm already on it.

I have a cold head wrap I keep in my freezer for migraines. I keep meaning to try it for hot flashes but so far I've not remembered at the right time.
