Those of you suffering in the heat

[Rosebine2]

I have just taken delivery of a neck fan. Id never heard of them, but looked on line on recommendation and it came today. Its great for cooling the face and I should think anyone suffering from hot flushes would benefit. Sort of a tube with fans inside, you dont have blades near your face ! Hands free .

My sister has one - she loves it!

I bought one last week for a friend who's hot all the time - I tried it, but didn't like the cold air going over the sides of my neck and lower jaw, where I tend to get a lot of stiffness and pain, wasn't sure the cold air blowing over the area wouldn't trigger it all off. I wish the air vents were at the back of the neck, where I do tend to get very hot, but my friend absolutely loves hers...

could you wear it back to front >

Tried that, but it just falls off, doesn't stay in position.

I have chemo on monday with expected temps of 35 degs and ordered one last night in the hopes it would help as there is no air con in the chemo unit x

I brought one last year when I started having hot flushes, I wouldn't be with out it. You can take it anywhere with you

Neck fans are good. Also recommend cold blankets. Mine was about £30 on eBay and has had daily use ever since.
