Anyone using Nicotine patches for Long Covid?
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: 6 hours ago | Replies (167)Comment receiving replies
After contracting covid in early January 2021 I have been out without my sense of smell for over three years now. That seems to be the only lingering symptom, but I am definitely willing to try the nicotine. I am somewhat afraid of the side effects as I have not been a smoker for over 40 years. I have read on here that some people use the gum and some use the 7 mg patches. Does anyone have advice for someone just missing their lack of smell?

Latest research - woldwide it seems - is that nicotine is not addictive. Tobacco giants put pyrazine and around 599 other chemicals in cigarettes - these are waht pushes addiction.
Research also shows that nictone has receptors all over our bodies and is in many vegetables.
I lost taste and am not on 2 mgs nicotine in lozenge form. Best to begin with low dose.
Brainfog has lifted and i have more energy. I do notice my sense of smell is back and some taste

I am following the protocol of Italian researchers to, I hope, help restore my sense of smell lost with LC over 4 years ago. The product used is a very finely ground PeaLut called Glialia, which is a powder you keep under your tongue for 10 mins. designed to dissolve and pass the barrier between the body/blood stream and the brain. Since I’m so long without smell I spent the first month taking 2 sachets per day along with 1 alpha lipoic acid 600 mg pill, and smell training. I used to consider myself lucky if I had one smell a day, at the weekend I was conscious of say 4…so bit better. Food not smelling yet though! Not 100% sure if Epitech the manufacturers are selling in USA but I do know I GB company was selling to US. Try looking things up thru Uk charity Abscent ( though changed their name this year you’ll find a link)
