I live in the Chicagoland area and went to see the Chief of Neuro and Infectious Disease at our Northwestern Hospital in the city of Chicago. He basically told me that I won’t be getting my taste and smell back (after having had Covid in December of 2022). He said that after 1 year we won’t get those senses back and that the olfactory nerves don’t regenerate. I left his office with no hope at all! What irritates me, is that he’s still doing research on Long Covid and for the life of me can’t understand why he told. ME that! How does he know if he’s still doing research? I’m angry too!
Hi @suefish. So sorry you had “that” experience. They obviously have no training or experience with long covid. May I suggest you contact your healthcare systems physical therapy dept and ask phone consult with Neuro Pt who hopefully can share better avenue of getting care🤞Speech therapist and recent neurologist for me was “that” experience and this other avenue enabled wider range of techniques for the slightest improvement to build on throughout body symptoms! Quickest healing to you🌈
