Can I just ask about patches vs gel without it turning into a whole thing? Not looking for anyone to tell me what to do, genuinely just curious about other people's experiences. I've been on a patch for about four months. Change days are Tuesday and Saturday and I've started scribbling in a notebook on those days, partly because I was convinced I felt rougher on day six and seven and wanted to check if I was imagining it. Turns out I wasn't imagining it. The last two or three days before a new patch go to pieces for me, sleep especially. I'm waking up soaked at about 2am and then I'm just done for the night, lying there cooking. A woman in a different thread mentioned she'd switched to gel because she liked being able to adjust more easily, and that's kind of lodged in my brain. I'm not saying I want to switch, I don't even know if I should, I just find it interesting how differently people seem to experience the two. Also I've started eating lighter in the evenings, less stodge basically, and I genuinely think it helps with the night flushes. Could be coincidence. Probably is. But I'm noting it anyway. Anyone else keeping patch change notes? What do yours show? x
