Question for E-takers: gel or patches? Got a strong opinion either way? Anything you wish you'd known before starting?

@RinaVolpina personally i started with patches, was okay until the lab stopped making them and i had to get other ones but stick less and are bigger, and had to put multiple ones until i got 4-5 on me each time and are out of stock often

got tired of all of this 3 years in and switched to injections, am really satisfied so far, and really liked patches to begin with

@nono_lewd Thank you! Injections aren't apparently legal in the UK and I can't stand needles so that’s really not an option πŸ˜…

@RinaVolpina meow understandable πŸ’œ

tbh it’s not that illegal where i am (France) but doesn’t had a authorization to be sold, so had to got them elsewhere

and was really scared of needles for that, what helped personally is blood tests (got used to them) and friends who do it too and let me see them doing it, then i asked one of them to guide me to doing it myself and it was so so helpful πŸ’œ
