Defining some terms if case there is any confusion:
1. autonomic nervous system controls tearing, saliva production, heart beats and rate, digestion, and many other processes that you don't have to think about.
2. dysautonomia also called an autonomic neuropathy is an abnormal function of the autonomic nervous system.

Dr. Robert Groysman, MD has been treating long covid since January 2020. He has extensive experience treating those experiencing parosmia, anosmia, and abnormalities in taste. He also treats brain fog, chronic fatigue, as well as other associated long covid symptoms. Dr. Groysman is an expert in performing a stellate ganglion block (SGB) with ultrasound guidance as well as establishing a working external ear vagus nerve stimulation to combat long covid symptoms and keeping them away. He also spearheaded a Facebook group for treatments and success stories! SGB success is due to correction of regional blood flow using the dysautonomia model.

It has been almost two years and everytime I tried to eat ranch I would throw up, but I tried it again today and I cried in joy that I could finally eat it again ❤🙏
Dr. Groysman you are an angel. Thank you for all your hard work!
Thank you for taking the time to present this video. It’s very informative and helpful
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us.
My pleasure!
Just over 2 years for me. It’s horrible! I don’t see an end to it.
There is hope, which is why I made this video. Both SGB and vagus nerve stimulation have recovered thousands. Many in my clinic.
Same 😒
I have mix of anosmia-parosmia and no taste for past 2.5 years ! It's just awful and debilitating living with this every day . I'm losing hope at this point...
@@Gornik92 Don't lose hope. That's why I make these videos. There are successful ways to treat this. Anosmia and parosmia are on the same spectrum, just present differently.
Me 2. So awful
Thank you for all you do.
You are so welcome
Very nice video
I've had it for 15 months now. It was just a smokey smell and didn't really bother me but I started taking amitriptyline for my back and the smell has become like a smokey boiled pineapple. It's driving me crazy now!
I live in Nevada - I’d like to fly to get this done but I’m wondering if I will need to make multiple trips
It depends. Some people do some don’t.
Doctor thanks for the information and your time...can i ask...is there any connection between parosmia and brain fog, i feel slow thinking, forgetting names, making writing and spelling mistakes...
Yes both occur with long COVID. Brain fog is very common.
Allahamdulilah recovered from parosmia after 2 years . There is always hope . Sadly no treatment for this . Just wait and it will be ok by itself it will heal up its just very slow progress
Unfortunately many don’t recover just by waiting even two years or longer.
It’s been about 18 months for me. I would say, I am around 85% healed. But still having trouble with chicken and beef. I also seem to be having lots of brain fogs. Is there a correlation? Would SBG also help with that as well ?
It can, it’s SGB (stellate ganglion block) and it’s not specific to what smells are still causing a problem, it just treats the cause.
M Ramirez, have you had a mental breakdown that was followed by parosmia? Asking cos i had drowned in self-pity one day and felt like something burst in my brain like a flow of something into my brain, i'm suspicious this is how it started for me, could be a coincidence as well, around 18 months as well.
I started neural therapy sessions to be treated. During 6 sessions, nerves in different parts of my body were tried to be stimulated by injection, but as a result, I made little progress. I only improved around 20%. In October 2023, it will be exactly 2 years. And my question, why do you think neural therapy didn't work to me?
Well for one thing, you can’t stimulate a nerve thru an injection. You would need electrical stimulation or a strong electromagnetic pulse. 2nd, what were you trying to stimulate and why? You can do vagus nerve stimulation at the ear even at home. If you you would like, please schedule a consult at covidinstitute.org
Hi, it's been 18 months and I think I recovered "%50" and I have a question I would be very happy if you can answer, is stress or anxiety makes the progress harder/longer or not affecting it? sorry If you did mention about it in video, I don't really remember. Thanks for making a video about it, almost everything is smells rotten, same like others
Yes stress makes it worse.
Counsx, have you had a mental breakdown that was followed by parosmia?

At 2022 January I got sick,and it started to me,my family said "Don't worry it will gone in 3-4 weeks" it didnt."It will go in 3-4 months they didnt believe me my doctor said its to late,im still trying
In the beginning, everyone thought it would go away on its own. It’s never too late.
@@SPMLongCovid My doctor said it will be damaged ant wont go properly.
I'm going on year 2 with absolutely nothing getting better!!
I will do anything to get rid of this curse!!!
🙏🙏🙏
What have you tried?
Hey, my sister was unwell 2 weeks back-typical COVID symptoms. Now everything is well health-wise but she smells rotten everything.. usually the warm food items... some items like bread or cold things don't smell but warm things smell like rotten fish. Even she usually has these smells, even from her own hands. What to do?
Please schedule a consult thru my office and we can discuss the options. covidinstitute.org/contact-us/
Can you answer a question I have been experiencing a bad taste every time I eat. Also food smell small disgusting and everything tastes like the disgusting smell. I have been experiencing it for a week already and i keep brushing my teeth and toung a lot cause i can not stand the taste. I don't know what to do. Can I please get an answer.
Yes, that’s the number one thing we treat. It’s called parosmia and dysgeusia. SGB helps with this, vagus nerve stimulation m, and nicotine patch.
@Southwest Pain Management Where thank you, and do you know where i can get treatment
Nearly 2 and half years, no taste or smell, but i have parosmia whitch makes it worse. looks like im doomed.
Not doomed. Some people need more than just time to heal. Do you have both anosmia and parosmia?
I understand what you are going through, it's definitely a of BS mental stress
Is this something that can be done while pregnant?
No. I don’t recommend doing procedures during pregnancy unless your life of baby’s life is in danger unless it’s done.
For me Soft drinks taste like Gasoline , Beef chicken and pork taste & coffee taste like burnt Onions and garlic . And cant even smell my babies poop diapers. its been like 5 months now. ...So frustrating .
For me its been 2years+ 😭 fighting
@@AndiNabighah me to year 2 this April!!
I want to drink acid and kill my taste buds!!!!!
this is very similar to me, i can only eat certain bland foods like mashed potatoes/ mac and cheese or sweet things like fruits that dont have this horrific smell it’s completely debilitating. coffee taste burnt, anything with seasoning like garlic onion taste like chemical trash and meat just smells rancid.
It would be nice if someone in Canada would actually help people by offering SGB. I'm in Ontario and no one will do this for Parosmia.
I get people coming to me from Canada. Yes hopefully will start doing these in Canada and Ontario. It’s not enough to just do the SGB, you have to be very good at them for long COVID.
@@SPMLongCovid What do you do differently for long covid vs. SGB for pain? Pain is the only thing I see it being used for here.
We add c4 vertebral level (superior cervical ganglion). No steroid is used. Of course there is also technique.
Am in Ontario too....how are you doing now? Having parosmia is horrible!
I still can't smell three years later. I tried neti pot, sinus flushing, nasal steroids, and smell training.
But have you tried vagus nerve stimulation and stellate ganglion block (SGB) like I do?
@@SPMLongCovid I haven't. It seems a bit invasive for me.
@@SPMLongCovid I went to the ENT and she saw no blocks or inflammation. My nose is stuffy every day since 2020.
It’s been 3 years, it’s time to do something like this. It’s really not as scary as it sounds.
@@SPMLongCovid My doctor didn't mention it or the ENT. I am not sure why they didn't? How would it help me with my block nosed or smell?
August will be 3 years for me,I'm 90 percent back to normal, and I still can't eat anything with peanuts, eggs,dark meat chicken, or barbecue sauce,and some chocolates
Great that you got to 90%! What can I answer for you?
It's 2023 and I smell an ashtray every where...
That’s phantosmia and actually an odor hallucination. Didn’t know you could hallucinate smells did ya?
Mayonnaise smells like ammonia
Everyone with parosmia has their own bad smells to contend with.
27 months in for me. My brother and sister both got covid and lost their taste and smell. Mynsister lost it twice, got back both times after a few months. My brother healed after 18 months. I'm at 27 months and haven't made much progress in a year. What can I do?

I know that feeling, I’ve had parosmia for 2 and half years now.. it’s very crazy how your smell and taste gets affected from the china virus
