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?
Started 7 mg 24 hour patch one week ago on planned 2 week trial regimen. No symptoms - good or bad - as yet. I fluctuate between 60% and 80% of my norm (probably average of 75% most days) prior to Covid hospitalization in January of 2024.
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.
Short answer: the Mestinon was a miracle for me. I started low last summer- 8 mo ago. I now take 60 am and 30 pm with no side effects. I had a flare last month after a family crisis and added Nicotine patch 7 mg. I am 18 mo with Long Covid.
Yes I tried nicotine patches and it helped me to ged rid of fatigue and exercise intolerance, which I had both for 1 year. It was that study of Dr. Marco Leitzke (on you tube). I did as he recommended, 2 days 3,5mg /24h patches, followed by 7 days 7mg/24h patches and 2 days of 3,5/24h patches.
No. Causation, loss of nicotine protection, anti-inflamatory effect, and loss of alkaloid impact on virus replication. Each average dip of Copenhagen long cut (strongest) has about 12 to 13 mg nicotine. It take three 4 mg gums to equal or two 7 mg patches or two Zyn (just short).
We have seen, in my family, recovery of smell and taste, recovered short term memory, opening of sinus passages, recovery of attention, rhinking skills, and other Long Covid symptoms abated. The dose seems to be cumulative over 24 to 48 hours.
By mid summer of 2023, I was ready to not exist. In November 2023, I read about the Nicotine patches and tried it with an entire box of the 7 mg. After a couple of weeks, I noticed about a 40% improvement in some things, but none in the worst (coffee, onions, Maillard reactions).
