Hi tullis!
Welcome to Neurotalk. So sorry you are having to deal with this monster. Are you scheduled to have any more stellate ganglion blocks? In my experience, if they are helping, you need more and you need to have them closer together...like one every week. How long does it take to get back to normal function? I am not a good one to answer that. I have had this for 23 years and I am worse than I ever was. I don't mean to scare you as this is just me. Your BEST chance of remission is early treatment. I was treated very aggressively with stellate ganglion blocks (SGB's), 1-2 per week, and with medication. I went into remission for many years.

Wishing you the best,
Nanc
