Hi, I have re started the patches on Wednesday. I came off to see how I managed because I had been switched to a continuous type and wasn't sure if it was helping my moods. My last patch was in February and at first I thought I would be OK without. Then a period in July and then again in August when nothing happened this month WHAM with the almost continuous flash then chill so I have put on a patch. No change yet though another bad night. Thank-you for your reply.
