Any side effects from nicotine cannot be as bad as living with Long COVID. Nicotine is found naturally in nightshades. Nightshade is a family of plants that includes tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, and peppers. Tobacco is also in the nightshade family.

Two days ago, I started a recommended protocol of 14 mg Nicotine patches as follows:
1/2 patch for 6 days

No change yet that I can tell, but I'll definitely let you know if I see improvement. My brain is fried from this Long COVID, so memory is a real struggle.

I also have bilateral neuropathy, loss of bladder control, and gliosis in my brain (per MRI). I had NO issues prior to the vaccine. All of my doctors - and specialists - have told me NOT to get the booster. I will not be taking any more COVID vaccines.

Prayers for all of us suffering from this awful and completely avoidable - and manmade - disease.
