Thank you for that information. I’ve been told by my PCP that I have long covid and my symptoms are no taste or smell since December of 2022. I’ve been getting and have had 4 Stellate Ganglion Block Injections to regain those senses and so far it’s only slightly slightly helped. After the injection, most often the next day, I might be able to smell my coffee grounds in the morning, but after about 4 weeks, it diminishes again. It’s very frustrating and at this point, I’m beginning to think it’s not from Long Covid…

Isn’t it frustrating not knowing?

I have had taste issues from Covid (taste and smell returned), and also some years ago taste distortion that I believe was caused fo B12 deficiency. You have probably been tested for that, but if not, it’s something to check.
It took several months of supplementing B12, but my taste finally returned to almost normal.

I’m struggling with different lingering Covid damage, but I can relate to taste and smell loss. It’s terrible.
