Have her retrain her sense of smell. Several times a day get her to open something she knows the smell of, and sniff it for a minute or 2. Think lemon juice, beer, vanilla, flowers - anything she is used to smelling. I bet it brings her senses back quickly.
I happened to have concentrated vape flavorings - about 100 bottles the size of a broken crayon from kindergarten. I got my sense of smell back in under 2 weeks, and I had ZERO smells (good or bad). My wife could only smell what she said smelled like sewage, and once my method worked on me she swallowed her pride and did the same. Actually that was my covid test to see if I was sick. Every day I'd pour a shot of scotch, smell it, and drink it. The day I could taste it but not smell it I knew. Maybe that helped me get back quicker.
Have you tried the FLCCC long haul protocol? Or the one from AFLD?
Mom was having smell issues but did the aspirin/ivermectin regimen from Peru and is doing better now.
Hope you recover fully soon, fren.
Having residual taste problems a year later, wondering what to do about it.
have you looked into zinc supplements? ive read taste and smell issues can indicate zinc deficiency
no, but I will, thanks.
Mine are all heart related :(
Hey cool! Thanks!
So sorry, fren. That is unfortunately outside of my experience.

Unfortunately that doesn’t work that well with my mother due to losing her sense of taste to chemo.
But that method does work for some. Glad it worked for you and your wife.
