me: it's cold in here, I'll turn up the heat
family: why not just put on a sweater?
me, with temperature regulation issues: see that would make sense, however my head and torso are hot, my hands and feet are freezing, and I'm shivering and sweating all over
if heat makes you flare up, GO DRINK WATER
if your meds lower your heat tolerance, GO DRINK WATER
if none of the above apply to you but youre still suffering through a heat wave GO DRINK WATER RIGHT NOW

While doing chores/moving around, if you start to get really warm, put ice packs in your pockets, 10/10
Drink lots of ice water, but not all at once, your body might freak a little and go nauseous
Have a large amount of tank tops in various colors, when you go out and have to look a bit more formal, use a cardigan/very thin jacket so you always have the option to take it off
Spray bottles on mist form <3
Sometimes resting, or laying down, helps to cool off cause you're not using energy
Keep your bare feet on the cool tile/wood/etc. as often as possible
Bowl of ice in front of a fan works weirdly well
Popsicles, but make sure they're not high in sugar/dairy/etc. because those can make it worse
I know it would seem like tiny tight clothes would be best, but make sure your clothes aren't tight, you don't have to wear long flowing capes and gowns but having shorts that are cotton/loose are always much better.
The backs of your arms (the upper half) your feet, and your knees are often colder than the rest of your body, utilize that
