Summary

A person with CFS reported that their illness was better while using nicotine, and noted nicotine patches were being trialled for CFS. They had been off nicotine for five years after quitting cold turkey, saying it was hard but got better. In September 2024 they wrote that Cymbalta had been wonderful for them for more than 15 years.
