Same. I’m worried that it is permanent.

Been over a year for me, and I am pretty sure mine is permanently damaged. Taste is fine, but my smell is ruined. It did come back a little, but...everything is just really muted or downright smells weird.

Two of my favorite things in this world are the smell of the western alpine evergreen forests, and the ocean....I can't smell either at all now.

i had quadruple heart bypass in Feb, 2019. Full recovery is 6-12 months. I had covid in early Jan 2020. they didn't even know what it was. I was in FL. We don't care about the beach, but love to eat fish/seafood. I commented that the fish tasted like something out of a box. Same thing the 2nd night. I was walking 3 miles a day. I went to about 100 yards in about 3 days. I couldn't walk up the stairs to the condo. I was gasping for breath(scary), and I finally went to the emergency room. My lungs were full of tiny blood clots.
after a week they had me stabilized, and told me to go home to TN, and see my cardiologist and primary phy.
I was miserable for a few months. blood clots cleared up in May. It took about 11-12 months before I felt normal, but I felt that covid had damaged my heart. test show no additional damage . Heart ejection fraction has gone from less than 20% in May 2020 to 35%(good) a year later.
To relate to your current condition it seems somewhat like mine. I now feel better than I have in almost 3 years. I think the covid effect only ended in July-August this year. don't give up.

It's been around since July

Explainer: This is how scientists detect new variants of COVID-19

While most of the article was from July they must have updated it to include information on omicron because the first reported sample was collected 09 November and the article references now a news report that is from November 2021
Classification of Omicron (B.1.1.529): SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern
Here is the fact check on that
Fact Check-World Economic Forum did not report about Omicron variant in July

Having your sense of smell scrabbled up is one of the hardest things to describe. Things that had distinctively different smells now smell exactly the same, but totally different from their original smells.
