Anyone using Nicotine patches for Long Covid?

Posted by tgroff @tgroff, Apr 19, 2023

There is lots of discussion on Facebook Long Covid forums about nicotine patches helping with long covid symptoms after a few days of adjustment to the patches. Any thoughts on this?

I know a person who had success with nicotine patches, so I recently joined a social media group - Renegade Research--#TheNicotineTest Although the information overload in the group can be a bit overwhelming, I have come to realize that this long haul C is definitely legit. It actually helps to realize that perhaps you're not actually loosing your mind because that's exactly how you feel! I do not have a confirmed diagnosis but I am beginning to think LC is what I am experiencing, so I am doing as much research as I can. I plan to see a doctor who is treating LC. All I know is that C along with it's after affects is pure evil and can disrupt your life in a big way!

I agree! Long hauler’s Covid creates havoc in so many ways.
Causing inflammation in all systems of my body and terrible brain fog. Look up Dr Ardis for his treatment with nicotine.

Sensitive skin-- the adhesive on the patch made my skin burn, not the nicotine section of the patch.
Other adhesives also burn my [pain in the neck, stupid, sensitive] skin .
Don't spend too much money on it to start, in case it burns your skin, too.

Too much nicotine can kill. Read the package directions so you don't over dose. Nicotine with caffeine can cause headaches, too high blood pressure, stomach upset.
Go carefully. Use common sense. Observe your own body's reactions, not what somebody else says should be okay. You might be extra sensitive.

Good luck!
