Summary
A Reddit user in r/covidlonghaulers developed small fibre neuropathy after a Moderna COVID vaccination and had brain fog. Two weeks of nicotine patches at 5 to 7 mg, worn 16 hours a day, they said massively helped the burning, tingling and myoclonus, while brain fog improved only a little; stopping brought worse pain and possibly worse numbness. By July they said ozone therapy had helped their brain fog most.
