Nicotine pass for MS

I have been given serious consideration to using a nicotine patch to help with MS symptoms. There is more and more evidence that nicotine can't help with brain function, particularly those with Alzheimer's or parkins

Guess 'can't' was a typo, or it would be a strange experiment! Summary I saw related to less incidence of Alzheimer's in smokers, so they were 'on' nicotine in advance of disease onset? Are there others that suggest nicotine as a treatment?

Interesting. I’m going to ask my neurologist.
