How did your interview go? I missed it as we were in Mexico, but wondering if you learned anything new? I lost my taste/smell with Covid in December of 2022. I have also had 7 Stellate Ganglion Block Injections and it’s March 17, 2025 and I still don’t have it back. It did however, help with my anxiety.
Looking forward to your response.

In a recent post I mention it hasn't and may never be done because of priorities in the news. But other people carried the torch for covid and long covid for awareness days a couple of weeks ago, which makes me happy.

Thanks for the reminder on stellate ganglion block. Anyone can go to clinical trials.gov and see FDA-approved studies that have happened, are underway, or are recruiting- this is an NIH depository with formal protocols, recruitment criteria, and more. Search for any condition and you can see what's underway. I saw a couple on ganglia and other interesting things being explored around the world in research. Some may have research locations near you. Quite a few happen in Chicago and I talk with my doctor and then we review whether I should learn more. I've joined some and have a few biological samples of mine in the Mayo Clinic repository where good work is being done on my "contributions" of "biological material" that I sent in a box!
