Question for ms or anyone who knows someone with ms!

[Sdh]

Greetings! I would like to know your input on nicotine usage and MS. The reason I am asking I have researched and found it helps with PD. However, my sister-in-law has MS and we are wondering if anyone else has had positive results with NRT to alleviate some of the dreaded symptoms of MS. Any input or links to studies would be greatly appreciated. Or any other information related to a therapeutic response from nicotine.
Thanks in advance.

I have a friend that has MS and vapes a lot. He thinks it helps him. I've also heard that nicotine is good for MS sufferers.

Thanks for the information. Did he vape before MS or started afterwards. My sis-in law does not smoke. However, she may be interested for relief of symptoms.

BTW I have read evidence stating nicotine may help.
I will try to link one study here.
I am curious if it does for most MS sufferers.

He was always a smoker that converted to vaping. He smoked before he had MS.

My husband has MS, and has agreed to try out vaping--he's going to quit for me anyway, so this would be a good time for you to tell me exactly what you are looking for info-wise. I cant seem to find the study, though I used the seach engine on that site extensively. I'd love to be able to answer your questions, plus if something good were to come from this for him, I'd be forever grateful! He currently smokes less than a PAD.
