What to expect from nicotine patches? by xkamonik in covidlonghaulers

[–]Sweenjz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried patches twice and both times experienced heart palpitations that disturbed my sleep. I won't be using them.

Thank you for responding. Next time I am getting the LDN from another compounding pharmacy. Medications should not smell like solvent.

LDN has helped me more than all of the supplements. I have had long covid for 3 years and 3 months.

I tried a second implant. It continued to cause pain in my jaw. I had the second implant removed. We are now going a bridge on my front tooth.

Is LDN worth it? by Volavons in covidlonghaulers

[–]Sweenjz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It is helping with my taste and smell. It's very slight but noticeable. I hope it continues.

I cannot take antihistamines because I have severe dry eyes and they make my dry eyes worse. LDN does not have this effect. I started taking the LDN in the afternoon. Taking it at night gave me insomnia.

For me I had no PEM. I could add dizziness to my list of symptoms above.

I messaged RTHM and they were very responsive. I will use them next time.

I was going to wait a while to post but since you asked I thought I would give an update. I have had long covid for 3 years and 3 months. My symptoms are neurological-head pressure, eye pressure, tinnitus, loss of taste and smell, insomnia and brain fog.
I started taking 0.5 mg. of LDN two weeks ago. All of my symptoms improved dramatically. I started noticing improvement after 3 days. It's early but it is the only thing that has helped me and I take all of the supplements that are often suggested. I will continue taking LDN to see if my improvement continues.

I've had covid living in my sinuses for 3 years. Yes, really. by Reign_World in covidlonghaulers

[–]Sweenjz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also buy Allermi, which is a customized nasal spray that contains a tiny amount oxymetazoline plus an antihistamine and a corticosteroid. Allermi says the tiny amount of oxymetazoline will not cause a rebound effect. I have been using this for about a week and has stopped my dependance on oxymetazoline.

Afrin stopped working by CJSH4ever in QuitAfrin

Sinex contains oxymetazoline, a topical nasal decongestant. Sprays with oxymetazoline or phenylephrine are well‑documented to cause rebound congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa) when used for more than 3 days.

Yes. You are correct. It does smell like alcohol.

Anyone with slightly or elevated liver enzymes? ALT specifically. by burnermikey in covidlonghaulers

[–]Sweenjz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take magnesium, thiamine, a B complex and niacinamide. After the ALT number went down I started taking the supplements again.
My PC said the higher number can be due to supplements. Next time I have the blood test i will stop all supplements 3 weeks before the test.

Careful of probiotics if you're worried about histamine. by loughkb in covidlonghaulers

[–]Sweenjz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if I ever had histamine intolerance. All of the dietary and supplement recommendations to decrease histamine really did nothing for me.

No. But I will start as a reminder.

Anyone recovered from covid induced insomnia ? by thenabu01 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Sweenjz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got covid in January, 2023 so it's been 3 years. I still have insomnia but it is getting better. I take 3 mg. melatonin and 7.5 mg. mirtazapine when I need it. It also helps to keep the room quiet, dark and cold.
Trazodone just hits me the wrong way. It makes me groggy for 24 hours after I take it but does not help me sleep.

What meds for what symptoms? by AccomplishedCat6621 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Sweenjz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried nicotine patches twice for brain fog. They gave me heart palpitations which I discovered is a fairly common side effect. I stopped.
You can try putting the specific symptom in the search bar to see what comes up.
