Hot flash hacks needed... Totally miserable

40 Y F with stage 2 IDC. Last chemo is tomorrow 1/14/25. I've been working full time with the exception of a day off here and there and taking one class at a time for my master's degree. I've powered through AC-T pretty well and have learned to manage side effects, all except for hot flashes...

You could set your watch to them at night. 1am, 3am, and 5:30am. Not getting sound sleep. I can nap no problem during the day and catch up on weekends, but exhaustion starts to compound.

Here is what I have tried so far:

-Eyes shut by 10pm -hot/cold showers -cold wet compress -cold packs next to the bed -the devil's lettuce and associated products -sleeping pills -gabapentin-takes a month at least and I'm on week 2 -acupuncture/yoga -cooling pillows and mattress cover -fans + open window

Have to wait until after surgery for supplements and an actual bed cooler that pumps cold air into the mattress is on the wish list, but my husband is making me wait due to expense and not covered by insurance.

What has worked for you? Thanks!
