Wild!
I lost my smell after I got Covid in 2020. I didn’t get it back until 2 years later, when I got Covid for the second time…
Get it once turn it off, get it a second time to turn it on again. Sounds like molecular biology IT. “Have you tried infecting yourself a second time?”
I have a friend that got COVID back in 2021 and still hasn’t gotten it back, so this is pretty cool.
Does it also fix the post exertional malaise and constant exhaustion? POTS? Neuropathy? Chronic myocarditis? The other 200 symptoms?
Tbh, the sense of smell and taste is a minor problem for people with long covid.
Well fuck these doctors for trying to help, I guess
How dare they do something if they can’t do everything‽
Especially with something so minor in our lives as eatingIt’s a specific procedure for a specific symptom where the disease harmed the olfactory area in particular. COVID can harm a lot of areas in different people and so far nobody has come up with a way to reboot all of them at once. In the meantime, research that focuses on individual areas can mitigate the misery. This surgery will help a significant number of people, giving them the normal safety against poisoning and a source of joy they had been robbed. Might even give them the hope they need not to choose death before other treatments get developed.
I mean, I can think of a few ways to turn a person off…
Turning back on, well… I heard about one guy. Took about three days. That being said, the author(s) aren’t very reliable.
