Hi guys...I was wondering about your opinions about vitamin patches. My dietician says that they don't work well...but I see that alot of you use them...so, I'm hoping you'll disagree with her. I'm seven weeks out...I take s boatload of meds and I have to crush lots of them to be able to take them...I have a hard time getting everything in everyday. I was hoping patches could help. Thanks!

They work for some people and not so well for others. They do work well for me. I put them on immediately after a shower and put them in my tummy area. I had a girlfriend who made natural lotions and soaps. She told me to put the lotion on immediately after a shower when your pores are open. I don't know if that affects the absorption of the patch, but it does work for me.

They work for me as well. My labs came back perfect. I am 6 months out and have been using them since day 1.

Thanks. The two replies I've gotten have convinced me to try them.

I use the multi patch and the iron patch with great results!

Thanks. I'm convinced. Definitely going to try them. It's certainly better than throwing them up! Nance
