@lkirnbauer thank you for your reply. I wish you the best of luck. How long did your SGB last the first time? I know it’s very expensive and insurance does not pay for it. Do your symptoms decrease each time you get the injection? I thought I had long Covid the last two years ago and since my gallbladder came out last November, my symptoms have just kept getting worse. The surgery and anesthesia did something to me. I am seeing a functional medicine doctor and I am on a lot of supplements. It’s a long process.

@robinrm Similar for me. I had 18” of my colon removed due to severe diverticulitis in April of 2022. I then contracted my first Covid infection in December of 2022 and on day 2 of the virus, I lost my taste and smell. After my Covid infection I began stuttering, had bad balance issues, insomnia, crazy brain fog, body tremors and headaches. I’m sure I’m forgetting some things, but you get the idea. After the first SGB injection, and for the 6 after, I could detect salty, sweet, bitter and spicy, but not before that. They also took my PTSD/Anxiety way down. I’m on Medicare and I paid nothing for these injections. I also was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and Hypothyroidism after I had my surgery. I never knew I had either of these, so now I’m on medication for Hypothyroidism! The anesthesia did something to me as well (I was 66 at the time of surgery). Terrible headaches and brain fog which got even worse after I had Covid! Hopefully, one day this will all be a distant memory! Blessings to you for all the best in health!
