Sally,
I am planning on giving it my best shot since I am pretty much out of
options!!
I wasn't too bad yesterday and then today I got really nauseous again and
used a suppository and laid down for about an hour and then it passed.
Of all times my parents stopped in right after I used the suppository and
was still sick!! Mom said I looked really pale but an hour later she said I
looked much better.
I do feel a bit nauseous all the time but I can handle it as long as it
keeps getting better over time.
When it gets real bad I also get light-headed, break out in a cold sweat and
if I don't use a suppository and lay down I will definitely puke (LOL).
I do "think" it is helping the pain allot but it is also Full Moon and for
some reason sometimes I feel better at Full Moon, so I will know better in
another week.
I do have heartburn tonight though which I don't understand because my
Prilosec usually keeps that at bay, and the patch doesn't go through the
digestive system. Maybe just a freak coincidence?!
I haven't had a problem with rashes yet but I did go through that with my
Estrogen Patch in the beginning.
I did notice the edges of the pain patch lift allot more though.
I think it might be making my nerves worse though......but then again,
lately they have been really bad so maybe it's just a coincidence.

Dear Jean, please give the patches a long time to "settle in" before you
decide. It takes quite a while to build up in your body and then it is a
bell shaped curve of supply. So the first day is less, the second more, and
the third, etc decreases. I use the patch too, and really like it. It has
some drawbacks, my skin has rashes and there is some nausea but I'm not sure
what is normal and what is coming from where - if that makes any sense.
Good luck, Love, Sally
