One story about nicotine patching and ME/cfs





Margrét Rósa Sigurðardóttir

ME/cfs, 70 years young, housebound/bedbound last 5 years.

After 9 months of nicotine patching 7mg, 24/7, I have an increase of energy maybe 20-30%.

In November I started to have less sleep, and began taking the patch off at night. But still, the sleep was bad, waking up after 1-2 hours sleep and then sleeping maybe 4 hours in the morning after staying awake the whole night, always the same.

So I knew I had to change the doses of nicotine, to keep on studying the effects (which I think is the method for me). But I didn´t have the courage and was reluctant to any change. So I kept going with 7mg, only during the day and having little sleep.

Come new year and I began with 14mg, first 24/7, and ongoing little sleep. But I had a similar feeling as last spring, when I began this journey; more energy and less brain fog.

After 2 weeks I changed to patching only by day, but nothing changed until after a week, last 3 nights I have had continuous sleep, 6-7 hours, for the first time in months! Love this!

Though I am still very sensitive to smells, it doesn´t make me sick any more! That is a huge relief!
I have had pains in one knee, but I put the patch near and the pain is gone!

So ongoing I am very greatful and happy to have found this method.
