No ganglion block injections and am not doing anything proactive to get senses back. I do not think I have Hashimoto's. I've been on a constant low dose of l-thyroxine for about 40 years with no change in dose. No medical person has ever called it Hashimoto's.
The only way to prevent from getting Long-COVID is to keep from getting COVID.

May I ask why you’re not doing anything to regain your senses? I have hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism and take 100 mcg of Synthroid. I have eliminated gluten, dairy and soy from my diet and have lost about 20 lbs all together over 2 years. I also had a food sensitivity test done so I now know what not to eat and I feel much better. You have to do a separate test to find out of you have hashimoto’s. It’s a TPO Antibody test and your levels are suppose to be 0 and mine were almost 600! It was an eye opener!

This is an aside: about 80-85% of hypothyroid sufferers are thought to have Hashimoto’s or either one or both autoimmune antibodies, the most common is called TPO, the other TgAb. I just had high TgAb, 20 odd years ago, apparently an usual 5% according to my endocrinologist yesterday, but they declined to nothing, so yours, if you had a might have been and gone. Even today relatively few drs/ nurses in the Uk use the term Hashimoto’s but call it terms like thyroiditis. Out of curiosity do you get your thyroid bloods ( TSH, FT4 and FT3) tested yearly? Sadly no , covid jabs do not prevent anyone from getting covid…at their best they might reduce severity of the infection, but research has shown the severity of LC in an individual has no relation to the severity of the covid!
