The patch I am using gets changed twice a week, it was working good...one hot flash a day...for a while, now I am getting hotflashes like crazy and I can tell when a mood swing hits. I think it is b/c these things aren't sticking that well, maybe I should try taping them on, so I have to change them more often. It also doesn't help that Memphis has this need to pull things off of me. I will sit on my bed when I start to burn up and take my shirt off, Memphis follows and tries to peel the patch off.
I have to remember not to take my temp during a hot flash, our thermometer is one of those that you take from the temple so it isn't accurate during a hot flash.
I have had a few hot flashes in my time - they are no fun!!
