Okay so I'm not after anyone telling me what to do, genuinely, I just want to know if other people have noticed a difference between the patch and the gel in terms of how hot they actually get. Like the physical heat of a flush. Because I've been keeping this slightly obsessive little temperature diary since January (yes I know) and when I look back at the weeks I was trialling one versus the other there does seem to be a pattern in my flush frequency but I honestly can't tell if that's real or if I'm just finding shapes in clouds. The diary thing started because my GP kept saying "how often are you having them" and I'd just go blank. Every time. So now I write it down. Morning, afternoon, night, how bad on a rough scale of one to three, whether I woke up or not. It's quite a lot of paper. Also I've started eating differently in the evenings, cooler stuff, less faff, mostly salads and cold things because I can't face cooking when I already feel like a radiator. Whether that's doing anything I have no idea but at least dinner isn't making it worse. Anyway. Patch or gel. That's all I'm really wondering about. Not what I should do, just what other people noticed. x
