MEL, So very sorry you had such a bad experience when you had such high hopes.
Thank you so much for sharing though. I've been given Lidocaine infusions
with no results and next step was/is to be Ketamine. I'd been debating
whether to go ahead (so many risks & expensive).
Please don't feel bad for sharing your experience, we have to learn from other's experiences even though someone else may have miraculous results!
I'm thankful stellate blocks work for me, in combination w/meds. & therapy.
I'm not in remission but managed to get some function.
We're here for you & we all need to help each other get out of that
"black hole".
