Virgo, I'm a couple of weeks behind you, and also a teacher... I'm absolutely dreading the times ahead as I figure it will only get worse from here.

I've found it's worst on hot days, when I have to stand up a lot. So far I've been dealing with it by keeping my shoes on until I'm home (because if I take them off at all, they'll never go back on!), and then putting my feet up. DH came up with the lovely idea of putting a cold, damp wash cloth over my feet which helped amazingly to bring them down.

It's such a pain that OH&S requires me to wear closed shoes. Fortunately I normally have narrow feet so a regular pair of wider fitting shoes should see me through the worst of the heat while I'm still working. I can only hope anyway!
