    I cannot keep the patches on. After 4 days, the patch falls off. I have gone through the entire month supply in 2.5 weeks. Cannot afford to replace it this often. My symptoms are much better, but have to find something that stays on.

    Although the hormone works good I get huge red welts where the patch is so bad it itches and stays red and scabbed die a week! I have to stop using. I used for a while but after this last round I am done (it also doesnâ??t stay on )

My hair is growing back on my head and not my chin. I've lost weight. No more hot flashes or night sweats and I dream again and sleep through the night. I have far more energy that I used too and ...
