And uh yeah, unfortunately you may find it is worse in the coming winter months. podcast-host

Well, on to our next question from Alice who says, Hey Liz, my mother is 80. podcast-host

She's been living with long COVID for several years. podcast-host

She recently mentioned hearing about nicotine patches that can be used to help long COVID symptoms. podcast-host

Is there any credible evidence that nicotine patches can improve fatigue and brain fog or other long COVID symptoms? podcast-host

What is the current medical understanding of why they might help? podcast-host

What are the risks for older adults and is this something that should only be tried under medical supervision? podcast-host

Thank you from Alice. podcast-host

Yeah, great questions. podcast-host

And I like the uh the caveats at the end there because I think that's really important that whenever we're trying something, we have to bear in mind somebody's age and stage in life, because an older adult may well be under all kinds of polypharmacy medications where they're taking multiple medications for different things that have been prescribed over the years, that have built up. podcast-host

And of course these podcast-host

Can all A interact with each other and B interact with any other potentially helpful intervention. podcast-host

So really important that we flag that. podcast-host

So nicotine patches, yeah, they are getting quite a lot of attention within the long COVID community. podcast-host

I would say the science is still at a very early stage. podcast-host

There's lots of theories. podcast-host

I know if you follow the biohacker Dave Asprey, you'll hear him talk a lot about nicotine patches or nicotine lozenges. podcast-host

Is he's very keen on it and he actually does do a lot of research and is quite cutting edge. podcast-host

So I tend to look at what he says and podcast-host

you know, I know it's not always backed up with huge randomized controlled trials because they simply haven't been done, but that doesn't mean to say that the science that he talks about is necessarily wrong. podcast-host
