Ive been using gel for about a year. 4 pumps.
Its been great for about 10 months and now it feels like maybe it's not working anymore.

I am so angry and ratty and emotional and tired and headaches and achey and zero libido. Its horrible. My family all commenting on me being grumpy and angry. Im not a grumpy person.

My friend said sometimes the gel stops being absorbed so switch to patches.

I hate idea of patches. Think they look awful and I do a lot of swimming but im so fed up.

Just wondered if anyone had had any experience of this?
