If you figure it out let me know. It’s been 2 years for me.

I have heard of Stellate Ganglion Block which blocks the nerve and kind of reboots it. People talk about it literally working instantly. About $500/side (they can do one or both) and you have to find someone that can do it near you.

God I miss the taste of good coffee.

I saw some studies indicating diphenhydramine/Benadryl can reduce long Covid symptoms. Can try and dig them up again if you're interested, although the stellate ganglion block sounds a lot more effective.

That first one sounds easier, I'll give it a try

I recall reading about Alpha-Lipoic Acid as a supplemental treatment for post viral loss of smell. I took some when I lost my smell after a bout of covid and mine did come back, YMMV!
