Have you tried this treatment? Stellate Ganglion Block study
Article: Cureus | Stellate Ganglion Block Relieves Long COVID-19 Symptoms in 86% of Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study | Article
DEFINITIONS:
Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB): a procedure where anesthetic is injected near the stellate ganglion, a group of nerves in the neck, to relieve symptoms such as pain or nerve dysfunction.
SUMMARY:
The study evaluated the use of stellate ganglion block (SGB) in the treatment of long COVID-19 syndrome.
Out of the 41 patients who received SGB, 86% experienced a reduction in their symptoms.
The most frequently reported symptoms were fatigue and brain fog, which showed the highest response to treatment.
My take: (by Amy E - contributor to the newsletter)
This is what I had done and it has been the biggest game-changer out of all the things I’ve tried!

I’m wondering, did you also loose your taste and smell with Covid? This is why I’ve had 7 Stellate Ganglion Block Injections, thus far. They’ve helped a bit with my body jitters, but still can’t taste or smell. I’m just not sure how many more of these things I should have. I’m looking for someone to tell me that these injections actually helped with taste and smell. I haven’t read that on this forum yet.
