Thanks for explaining so well!
Last night I put the matrix patch on and this morning I woke up completely pain free! Usually I have to take my breakthru med first thing in the morning, despite having put on a brand new transdermal patch. So, this is a good sign!

I've read several testimonies that the matrix works real well at first, but then it loses it's effect by 48 hrs. I don't take much stock in the sites I was getting this info from tho.

I think I'm gonna like these things, for all the reasons you mentioned.
