..."Jafari said that as time goes on, it’s become clear that a small percentage of patients are suffering a persistent loss of smell that stretches longer than 18 months after Covid.

“Those patients are tougher to treat,” he said. “Smell training works best in patients within the first 18 months of loss and we don’t have a lot of good options after those 18 months.”

As a next step, Goldstein said, researchers or drug companies could try to develop drugs that block specific immune responses or that promote neuron repair.

Goldstein and Jafari also said the study’s findings could provide clues to how cases of long Covid are affecting other body systems, too.

“There’s not a lot of studies that have obtained biopsies of organs affected by long Covid,” Goldstein said. “Are there immune cell mechanisms … involved in other long Covid problems?”

All my Covid symptoms were a replica of my body’s reaction to chemo treatments in 2004-2005. My smell was hyper sensitive. My taste buds were dead. My body ached. I was constantly tired. I only wanted to eat Cup O’ Noodles. Nothing to be scared of and BONUS:. Ivermectin kicked Covid a$$!
