It is SO hard to keep trying different protocols and feel no better. I’ve been on this “what it’s not” road for such a long time. Yes, advocate for yourself is imperative (trust me, no one else will), but at some point your health is not good enough to keep going.
Each time I start something new, I get a glimmer of hope, but then it doesn’t work, and I am cast down again. After a couple years, it’s very hard to keep hope going.

I feel your pain. I had Covid in December of 2022 and lost my taste and smell. I’ve had 3 Stellate Ganglion Block injections into my neck and they have only slightly improved my taste and smell. I still can’t taste any flavors of anything, only salty, sweet and sour. I just recently started to smell the coffee grounds in the morning. I’m going to have a 4th injection in June and if that doesn’t work, I’m loosing hope.

I so understand how you’re feeling. I had covid in December of 2022 and lost my taste and smell. I’ve had 3 Stellate Ganglion Blocks to try to regain it and as of yet, not much improvement. I’m going in for a 4th in June and don’t have much hope left. If you haven’t had any of these injections, you should try. Get in touch with your local hospital’s pain management clinic. Northwestern is our big hospital and they’re the ones performing this procedure. They are shots of Lidocaine into your neck (Ganglion Nerves) which are suppose to activate something. I still only have slight taste of salty, sweet and sour on my tongue and smell some things slightly as well. It’s been quite awful to say the least.
