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
I am sooooo grateful for your quick response I am waiting to hear from the doctor about getting another ganglion block. I am hopping I will get the shot this week. Again THANK YOU. I did get my leave of absence extended so that does make me feel better.
