I’m so sorry you’re suffering. I too lost my taste and smell with Covid in December of 2022. Needless to say, as you all too well understand, that it’s awful! I have had 5 Stellate Ganglion Block injections and they’ve only slightly helped, meaning that I have a stronger sense of salty, sweet and bitter sensation on my tongue, but that only seems to last for a few weeks. I have yet to taste a flavor of any kind since 2022. Were your plasma platelets injected into your neck? That is where the Ganglion Block injections are injected. I’m curious because I haven’t done that yet and may give it a go next time. I don’t do the smell training kit any longer, because it gives me a headache trying to smell something I just can’t. I’m looking forward to hearing about your plasma platelets. Thanks!

The plasma (part of a clinical trial at Jefferson in Philly) was taken from my blood and then (in a very painful procedure) inserted up both nostrils.

It did nothing….

I was curious about Stellate Ganglion blocks (which is being done by an ENT at Cleveland Hospital). My understanding is that those injections need to be done in the neck—a process I’ve been a bit fearful to try.

I don’t know what else to do….
