    I found having an emergency spray thingie in my handbag was very helpful when I was starting on patches. Cos patches take time to work and the spray is immediate and tides you over until the patches kick in. I didn’t like using the gum.
    I also found that the patches sometimes left a sore red mark on my skin when removed. Usually when that bit of me got overheated or sweaty. Chemist also warned me NOT to put the patch anywhere near where I was going to spray perfume or deodorant - apparently these kick the patch glue into overdrive and can burn the skin chemically. I usually ended up putting the patch on my upper leg. Hope this helps a bit.

      I’ve tried the gum once before and didn’t like it because I don’t chew gum anyway. I’ve tried the spray and it wasn’t bad but this time I’ve gone with the lozenges. I don’t mind sucking on a lolly.

      I was thinking about sticking the patch on my leg so this does help. Thank you ❤️
