Robin, Thanks for the information. I was told to keep it above the waist. So far I have put it on my back and the right side of chest (kinda afraid of left chest since your heart is there and mine already skips beats and has abnormal EKG's). Next time I will try my arm.

I am sick but waiting and hoping it will pass with time. Gonna give it at least 2 weeks try, hoping my body will give in before I give up. Don't have much left to try so giving it my best shot. At least the nausea got good enough for me to answer some posts, but now it is getting worse so I better do the suppository thing again and get to bed!

Dear Jean the Duragesic patch never made me sick. It does take a while for it to build up in your system. Don't put it on your hip, it will take longer to work there. I found that my arm was the best place. It worked really well for me. I hope it will help you & not make you sick. love robin
