Patch vs gel. I keep going back and forth on this in my head and I genuinely don't want anyone to tell me what to do, I just want to hear what other people's experience has actually been like day to day. I'm on patches at the moment and I'm finding the whole change-day thing weirdly stressful. Like I have a little note on my phone now for when I changed it and where I put it (inner thigh this time, upper arm last time because the thigh one left a red square for about a week). It's not a massive thing but I keep thinking about whether the gel would just be... simpler? Less faff? The flushes are still happening, especially between about 2am and 5am which is just brilliant timing. I've started keeping a rough note of how often they wake me up because my next GP appointment is coming up and I want to be able to say something more useful than "loads, it's loads, I'm exhausted". Last week it was four nights out of seven with at least two wake-ups each. Written down it looks more serious than it felt at the time, which is interesting. Food-wise I've been trying to eat lighter in the evenings, nothing fancy, just less heavy stuff before bed. Whether that's doing anything I honestly couldn't tell you. Anyway. Patch people, gel people. How does it actually feel to manage it week to week? That's all I'm after x
