The article discusses a personal account of a person suffering from brain fog following COVID-19, detailing struggles with concentration and social anxiety. After trying several remedies without success, the author found a small study suggesting nicotine patches improved cognitive symptoms in long-COVID patients. Hesitant to try patches, the author opted for 2mg nicotine gum and experienced a noticeable improvement in mental clarity. This anecdote illustrates a potential unconventional treatment for lingering cognitive issues after COVID, highlighting the often neglected side effects of long-term illness.
To my surprise, the mental clarity began to return, making everything I struggled with before suddenly feel manageable.
I felt as if I had regained a part of myself that I thought was lost forever.
