Most PRP stories come from sports-injury and skin-healing circles, but a handful of Long COVID communities have started asking whether the same growth-factor “boost” might help lingering symptoms—especially smell loss. Right now, data are thin: one controlled study hints that PRP injected into the olfactory cleft can ease post-COVID parosmia for some people, yet there’s virtually nothing on fatigue, brain-fog, or post-exertional malaise. No published reports focus on ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, or POTS.

Themes showing up in early conversations

• Smell trials: A few Long COVID participants describe modest improvements in scent recognition after PRP plus standard olfactory training, though results are mixed and seem to depend on how long the smell loss has lasted.

• Musculoskeletal carry-over: People familiar with PRP for knees, tendons, or hair loss sometimes try it for localized pain that flared after COVID—but almost nobody has shared outcomes for whole-body or cognitive symptoms.

• Practical roadblocks: Multiple injections, clinic visits, and high out-of-pocket costs keep many from experimenting. Energy crashes after procedures are another recurring worry in ME/CFS spaces.

• Number of sessions & spacing – one-off, weekly series, monthly maintenance.

• What changed (or didn’t) – smell accuracy, pain level, fatigue, PEM, mood.

• How long any effects lasted – days, weeks, ongoing?

• Side-effects – soreness, swelling, energy crash, none at all.
