I had a mild case of Covid in December of 2022 and lost my taste and smell on day 2 of the virus. I haven’t gotten it back yet and it’s March 2025. Like you, I am desperate to regain them! Have you heard of the Stellate Ganglion Block Injections? They are suppose to bring back taste/smell. I’ve had 7 and still only can detect salty, sweet and bitter on my tongue. Can’t really smell anything, only a quick whiff now and then of my perfume or coffee in the morning. They are fleeting moments of smell, but not any flavors on my tongue. Also, have you seen an ENT? I live in the suburbs of Chicago and have recently gotten an appointment with a Comprehensive Long Covid Clinic through Northwestern in Chicago. I don’t know where you live, but I can share their phone number with you if you’re interested. Their number is 312-926-9900. I hope this will help you in some small way. Good luck and good health!

There is a book by a Dr. Ardis that details nicotine patch information. 1/6 of a 21mg. Patch (3 1-2 mg.) is the recommended size… to be used daily
