Loss of taste and smell after covid 19
Has anyone else had symptoms with loss of smell and taste , brain fog at times, fatigue , shortness of breath when going outside , problems with severe heart burn everyday , also my feet and legs swell up at times and get bad headaches cause i have had these symptoms everyday almost for the past 3 years . I had got covid I believe about 3 times and it was one right after another due to my children having to go back to school , and at the same time I had just got a full hysterecomy to remove cervical cancer . So it has been a long struggle to try feel even a little bit better if anyone has any kind of suggestions due to the fact my family doctor had recently retired so no family doctor right now . Plus I am getting calluses and corns on my feet which make it hurt to walk at times.

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!
