I do go through periods of mild to extreme hot flashes throughout the month. They're really worse right before my period. And what really sucks is, no amount of antiperspirant/deodorant is enough to curb it. My body completely rejects antiperspirant so I have resorted to natural deodorant like Native, which helps when it's not so hot and humid.

P.S. want to add that I hydrate fairly well with at least 7ish glasses of water a day so it's not like my hot flashes are a result of a dehydrated body either.
