First of all, I’m so sorry you’re suffering. I too lost my taste and smell with Covid in December of 2022 and still don’t have it back. I’ve been having Stellate Ganglion Block Injections to try to regain it, but not much change so far and I’ve had 6 injections. I will be going in for my 7th one next week Friday and will be asking if I’m wasting my time doing it. I’ve had slight slight improvement only for a few weeks after the injections, meaning that I have a more salty, sweet or bitter taste on my tongue, but no actual flavors of anything. I can’t distinguish a pear from an apple only know that their textures are different. I eat by texture now. I’m doing these injections because if I loose the little hope I have now, it won’t be good. I would suggest looking into having this done. I go to our big hospital, which is Northwestern and I see someone in the Pain Management Clinic. It won’t hurt you and it might actually help. Also, I’m on Medicare and the injections have been completely covered. Good luck!
