GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic, etc.) to treat long-COVID?

I've had Long Covid symptons since having Covid in 2020. I did not get any of the shots.
They started about 6 months after my first illnes and I lost my sense of taste and smell. It wasn't so bad and I fine about a week or so later.
Then a few months later it happened again. This time it was worse and lasted longer. I started to get headaches every day also.
A couple months later the same thing happened, each time getting worse so now the smells are making me nauseous. I can't even describe what they smell like because I've never smelled anything like them before. At first it was like burning rubber or rotting fruit, now I can't even describe it.
I started on Zepbound in July for weight control without any thought that this drug might possibly help with Long Covid. In my case , none of my symptoms have improved or gone away so I am still looking for that magic potion to help me live a normal life again

@cathytruden Regarding Loss of Taste and Smell: I've posted in other Mayo Clinic Long Covid forums about the use of the 7 mg Nicotine patches under my chin. It sounded like a 'wild story' when I first read about it working, but my dermatologist recommended it for my sensory losses. The other path I am following for the swollen taste buds, which is still a problem: I have been reading the Long Covid support groups on Mayo Clinic's web site and I noted many with my nasal and tongue conditions were having tests for mycotoxins (molds, fungis).
Qualifications: Dr. Hooper and Dr. Bolton founded RealTime Laboratories in 2005 after extensive research and studies into the harmful effects of mycotoxin poisoning on the human body. They offered 3 options for the Mycotoxin kit:
1. Have primary care provider use the RealTime Lab web site and sign up to become a provider using them as the lab for mycotoxin testing. If local physician does not wish to become a provider for mycotoxin lab work...
2. You as a patient can sign up directly and have the urine sample kit sent to your home, then send the sample back for lab work and they would mail be the final results in detail. You can then take details of labs to Primary or if they do not wish to be a supporter of this mycotoxin work...
3. RealTime Labs sends you a temporary password so you can visit their web site and review local doctors, NPs, clinics, naturopathic healers, etc. anywhere in American working with RealTime Labs on mycotoxins. You can select a local expert in mycotoxin work.
