I’m so sorry you’re struggling. I too am struggling, but with no taste or smell for going on 1 year and 4 months! After Covid in December of 2022 I lost my taste and smell. I’ve had 2 Stellate Ganglion Block injections to help me regain it, but only a slight improvement. I’ll be going in this Wednesday for my 3rd. It’s the only thing that is giving me hope. It’s very depressing and I too think about ending it. I also have several food sensitivities and have had 18” of my colon resected in April of 2022, so I don’t eat the way I use to. I keep going, but it really is a constant battle to stay positive as you said. I was not given Paxlovid, but the doctor who didn’t prescribe it for me was not my regular doctor as he was not available. I did ask my Dr recently if he would have prescribed it for me and he said he would have treated me with Paxlovid. So now I’m wondering if I had been treated with Paxlovid, would I have lost my taste and smell for this long of a period. I will never know!🤷‍♀️ I wish you strength to go on and hope you find some relief.
