Still hoping you have success with the patches. Honestly, it is the only relief I have received. I am currently trying to not wear a patch. It's been about a week, and so far, so good. The one lingering symptom seems to be slight light-headedness when I am going about my day. It is no where near as bad as it was before I started using the patches. Although I'm not 100%, it's a HUGE improvement! I had an appointment with a Long Covid doctor recently and honestly did not learn much more than I already knew. He said the main culprit of LC is the full body inflammation that it causes. I also learned unless they can write a "prescription" for it, they will not recommend or comment on anything else. He referred me to a physician led support group made up of LC patients which I plan on participating in. I hope you see improvement with the patches; it does take some time.

I wish I could say the patches were going along as I’d hoped. Yesterday (third day), I got very sick. I’m willing to have some negative reaction, but it doesn’t feel like I should continue when I feel poisoned. Yesterday I had roaring head from increased tinnitus, dizziness and nausea. Maybe I am just hyper sensitive to nicotine? Or maybe my dose is still too high. I haven’t been able to eat and I am so weak today.
I might consider trying every other day? I just don’t know.
I have an appointment at a long Covid Clinic next Friday.
Your experience doesn't sound very encouraging. The way I feel now, I hope I can even get there!
I actually think I should be in the hospital....but no one would know what to do anyway.
Thanks for staying in touch.
