Stellate Ganglion Block: Watch A Patient's Transformation from PTSD

I've been disabled with PTSD since 2011. For EIGHT years I tried to get Kaiser to approve this, as I watched the PTSD get worse. Sadly, Medicare is no better. If only these treatments would be available for those who don't have the most expensive insurance. I already get cervical nerve ablations, which don't look much different. Not scary at all. Thank you for the video, though, and, as always, we appreciate your kindness. :-)

How desperate I was, I found the little boogers area and had a local Dr numb it up, also roof of mouth, had him numb. Other visits we did iv lidocaine for pain.

@TheHarryleemartin I actually spoke with one of the vendors a few months back, and it's spendy. That said, I'm still considering it because of the extreme discomfort my ptsd symptoms regularly cause me. My ptsd symptoms started at the age of 3, so it's been with me nearly my entire life.

Hey unrelated to this particular video but I just wanted to say: I’ve been dreading a surgery (parathyroidectomy) I was scheduled for because I was terrified of being under general anesthesia and possible injury to the laryngeal nerve (nerve that controls your vocal chords for anyone who doesn’t know) and wouldn’t be able to speak. It’s an extremely small risk but being an extremely anxious person, I was petrified for a month all the way to the surgery center. BUT your videos definitely helped me out a bit with my uncertainty. I got through it and the surgery went very well. Thanks a bunch for your content ❤

I would LOVE something like this for my anxiety. I have been getting nerve blocks for occipital neuralgia since 2016. It just suddenly hit me. The night before I felt nervousness and my body wouldn’t stay still to sleep. I woke up with the worst headache of my life & laid in a dark room for 3 days until I called my dr. He ignored me and by that time my neck was hurting bad. He told me I sprang my neck! 🤬🤬🤬. It took two weeks to get an MRI bc my dr refused. I had to go to pain management and the dr there ordered one and it wasn’t good when it came back. The dr was mad and said this is malpractice. I didn’t care I wanted out of pain. He gave me nerve blocks and I felt a bit better ina few days. He also suggested Ketamine and I was afraid of it and said no. I was on medication for anxiety, insomnia and depression so it scared me to death. What does the Ketamine do for a person? Is it a better alternative than antidepressants and anxiety medication? I would love to stop the medication.

Thanks, doc. 360mg of controlled release propranalol had similar results for me. Like throwing a switch within days of taking the first dose. (started low, then worked up to 360mg). I could talk about how ketamine has revolutionised paramedicine all day. First started using it 20 years ago for analgesia, RSI, sedation, and if needed, an 'off' switch for combative patients. I actually know a guy who's trying Ketamine (microdosing), as a treatment for complex PTSD. He told me he feels like he's experiencing certain domains in his life like a child again, except this time, he's more in charge of dealing with the emotion his experiences invoke. The biggest gain by far is his sobriety. He stopped drinking, and not only has he managed to stop, he said the 'desire to drink' is gone. He's a changed man .

[@janetjacks3406]

I wonder what size dose your friend is taking as this seems like it might be an effective approach as I am drawn to ketamine but just want a tiny bit as suspect this might just be enough to allow a breakthrough.

I know on the last part I can never step into a dentist office unless I wear noise canceling headphones with earplugs. When I drive or if I am a passenger I get so many triggers I pretty much only drive maybe 2 times every 6 weeks. The smell of burning oil, tar, or burnt rubber tires. I have had to pull over from hi-ways before due to triggers were my heart rate in a dentist office was over 220 blood pressure.

Even with long-acting local anaesthetic, for a few hours. It’s because the sympathetic in the neck is partly responsible for lifting the eyelid and increasing the pupil diameter, so when you block that nerve, it can’t do its job. Only temporary though, while the other effects last.
