I first lost my sense of smell from COVID back in 2021. For the first year, I couldn't smell anything at all. Over time, it very gradually improved, but the process was slow and limited. By early 2024, I could smell things up close again, but I couldn't smell anything at a distance. For example, in the past, if I walked into a movie theater, I'd be able to smell the popcorn just walking by the lobby. Now, I couldn't smell it unless I literally shoved my head into the popcorn bucket. Over the course of about 2 months, I had three rounds of PRP injections into my nasal cavity. The procedure greatly improved my sense of smell at a distance. Unfortunately, it didn't totally resolve my smell issues. Even after the procedure, there were still some scents I couldn't smell. It was costly, and insurance didn't cover it, but I didn't regret it and would recommend it for anyone who can afford it and misses their sense of smell.
