Hi Mimi ~ Welcome to having a "Flare". Sometimes it's called different things like outbreak, etc. The biggest thing I know is that humidity will do that to me within minutes of being in in humid air. If it's hot also, it makes it that much more uncomfortable and enraging for me.
So, my fix is to be in a/c if possible, if not then to be in front of a fan, just to move the air. Another thing is the kind of clothing you have on. It has to be cotton for me, especially in heat, more-so if in a flare.

Other symptoms like hot flushes, excessive sweating, and body aches are not specifically mentioned in my knowledge base related to PN. If you experience these symptoms, it might be worth discussing with a healthcare provider to rule out other conditions.
