Hiya,

I never used that patch, but I did have chronic pain for about 18 years. It can be really rough. I found a lot of help by reading the books by Dr. John Sarno and TMS. My pain was so bad I couldn't type or be active in any sort of way, but now I feel as if I got my life back. I think the key is to try to get rid of the fear related to your symptoms.
