Some of #TheNicotineTest wins from the Facebook today! @TheNicotineTest is not a cure! But it is helping 2/3rds feel much better. And for some, it is the missing piece of the healing puzzle for both #LongCovid and #MECFS. A🦋🧵full of joy 😍😍😍! @NickChambers2 @LeitzkeMarco

Almost a week in and the difference is profound and surprising! I still need to be wary of overdoing it and am still in a semi state of disbelief, almost afraid to believe bcuz I’ve been let down before But I’m very optimistic! #TheNicotineChallenge

I had the same experience after trying lots of other options for my neuro symptoms. (dizziness, brain fog & brain zaps) I was very surprised, but also incredibly relieved to find something that works reliably. #TheNicotineTest

My old self being 10? About 7-8. I get stronger every week. When I first stopped the patch, probably a 5. When I started, a 2-3. I am having surgery tomorrow. That’s going to set me back. But we will see how well I can recover from that now, too.

Nicotine seems to reduce TLR4 expression. jstor.org/stable/43707546 Could that partially account for #LongCovid success stories of Dr. @LeitzkeMarco and #TheNicotineTest patient-led research🤔 Nicotine patches have mitigated several symptoms of #longhaulers @TheNicotineTest

Thanks to @ChaunceyGardner for sharing this #research which outlines the differences between Nicotine from Nicotine Patches and smoking for cardiovascular risks. However, part of the funding comes from a Pharma company that makes patches.🤔 #TheNicotineTest
Nicotine itself does not cause cancer, heart or lung disease. If you have severe cardiovascular disease, your doctor should advise you to avoid both caffeine and nicotine. Nicotine itself probably doesn't increase risk of atherosclerosis. jacc.org/doi/full/10.1016/S0…

Beliefs are an important part of treatment success. A placebo often times gets a 30% success rate in trials. Take the time and energy to learn the science before trying #TheNicotineTest. Any n=1 is a risk! Talk with YOUR GP, be safe, patient & smart!🙏 docs.google.com/document/d/1…

#TheNicotineTest - for 8 weeks - has helped at least 2 testers to get rid of #MCAS symptoms, which came along with #LongCovid xitter.gq/TMaritanoAquino/status… xitter.gq/IamTeriC/status/166504… Many rootcauses for histamine intolerance, but this protocol is worth a try🤔 xitter.gq/petri_pellinen/status/…

There are various effects of nicotine on the body. Long term use is not advised, but what they’re doing here is a short term blast that’s thought to have a few different effects. It’s quite fascinating. It’s a very overlooked drug because of the association with smoking.

Yesterday a friend stopped over to give me my b12 shot. I told her last week about #thenicotinetest She said (unprompted) that I was looking better. My skin tone and "energy" improved. I told her about my taste coming back....

thank you! I feel incredibly fortunate. I wonder if I experienced fewer side effects from the patches as a former smoker. I just hope others at least try NPs and don't equate the major dangers of tobacco use with NP administration. I too had been skeptical of the theory, but wow.

#TheNicotineTest success story Are we beating #LongCovid with nicotine patches?
Replying to @petri_pellinen
I’ve had long Covid 2 1/2 years. I’m on week four of the patches and I’m feeling close to normal. Not quite there yet but it’s amazing!!

As an early adopter, Kira gives a good, long-term view of her journey and why she recommends the nicotine patch... in small doses... along with the other self-care routines that are good for us. #TheNicotineTest #LongCovid #MECFS
#TheNicotineTest day 96, about 3 months in. I don't generally feel like I have #LongCovid anymore, but I'm still dealing with damage done... especially in the summer heat. At the beginning of March I could barely walk 500m; now I've biked up to 15km.

So far, with n=35, more than 60% #TheNicotineTest had significant improvements (10% to 50% improvements in their baselines!). Great considering most did a small dose for a week!
