This is meant to be a fun answer but not to take your plight lightly.
Since you have been given good advice previously, I will say, hang in there, it will all be over soon, the flashes that is(smile) or keep alarge glass of crushed ice handy, works for me!

Jump in the tub and cover yourself with ice! Or you can do what Bill suggested. The latter you may find much more pleasant than the former.

Ed buy some scented soap and take a bubble bath with 'bubbles' if you can find her. She will know what to do. All women know what to do.

Here is what you do: Get a shovel, and head out to a nice flat, muddy, area. Construct a Sweat Lodge from mud and twigs, build the hottest coal fire you can inside it, strip naked, and sit in there for several hours. You will sweat out all the bad, and once you emerge, your spirit will be lifted, and you will smell like a rose.

well you painted a wonderful smelly picture of yourself here Ed, first Rufus and now you..lol.
Ok.....Run your wrists under cold water, put an ice pak wrapped in a cloth near to you, remove all bodily hair, get a slave to fan you all day, volunteer for duty in a wind tunnel, cover yourself in ice lolly.
Does that help?...poor you. You still manage to write the humor even at boiling point it seems.
