A member asked:

I seem to have a warmer body temperature than most of my friends and family, would this make my pain patch work at a different rate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really: The body temperature is not your skin temperature. Regardless, minor temperature variations do not significantly affect delivery rates. Warmer bodies tend to absorb medications faster.
