Hi Everyone,

I am currently IP for severe Complex PTSD. My pdoc suggested today that I try having a Stellate Ganglion Block injection into my neck. The research is looking good. It shuts down your 'fight, flight, freeze response and can last for years.

Now I am very interested in any one else experience with this injection. To have my hyper-vigilance shut down would be awesome as I am sure you will all agree.

As I am Bipolar also I am posting this in both forums. Hugs for all who are struggling at the moment. I hope we all find some peace soon.

Watching this. Have just recently come across this injection info myself; it does seem very promising.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
