Hi lil-bug! Sorry about your diagnosis. You have definitely come to the right place for info and support. I agree with alt in getting more nerve blocks. After I was first diagnosed (in 1991), I was treated very aggressively with a series of stellate ganglion nerve blocks and medication. This put me in remission for almost 13 years. I had minor flares in that time, but easily handled with meds. My spread began when I injured my hand in 2009. It took way too long for a correct diagnosis. Once I had the correct diagnosis, I wanted the nerve blocks again...they didn't help so much this go around because it was too late for me. If you felt relief from the first one, that is great! If it were me and I had that response from the first one, I would see about getting a full series of them...once per week.

Wishing you the best!
Nanc
