Default Hi Stardust,

Beth wrote me in the "Today I" thread and this is quoted from her post regarding the Stellate Ganglion Block ...

(This should be a series of 3, spaced a few days to a week apart, but different Drs do it differently. Try to get them no further than a week apart if possible. The anesthesia provides roughly 4-6 hours of relief - anything OVER that amount of time, say you go 24 hours without the burning pain, is both confirmation of RSD/CRPS AND a successful block, i.e., it worked for you. Hopefully, each block will give you longer-lasting relief).
There is a limited window of time to get the blocks in order for a remission to take place, or failing that, to have the best results.


So, it looks as though I will be heading for more of the Stellate Ganglion blocks... Go Figure... My Luck... But I am determined to catch this quick and my goal is to put this into remission quickley...

Thank you so much for the links. I didn't have those...

Jo- I have a follow up with the Dr in a few days.. Ugh, It looks like I may have a new diagnosis. But I am still waiting for the official dx to come from the doc.

Hugs To You...
Dawn
