Hi Linda,
I am also a “Linda”, I lost my taste/smell in December of 2022 and it is February 2024 and I still don’t have it back. I’ve had 2 Stellate Ganglion Blocks, which are injections of Lidocaine into your ganglion nerves in your neck (right side). My taste came back slightly, which means that now I have a stronger taste of salty, sweet, sour, but no actual flavors of anything. I can smell something almost every day, but it’s fleeting and doesn’t last. I’m hoping my next injection in March will help even more. I receive these injections at Northwestern Hospital in Chicago’s Pain Management Clinic. It’s certainly worth a try. I wish you all the best.
