My wife Diana has had LC for about 3 years. After the usual struggles finding a Dr that would work with her we found a PCP that was willing to try Prendisone. The course of treatment did help but didn't provide significant improvement. Last fall while reading this blog I found the sections regarding using the Stellage Ganglion Block as a treatment. We researched it and found several small studies (40-50 participants) that showed benefits from the SGB. After discussing it Diana said she wanted to try it. Her PCP was willing to give her a referral to the local Pain Clinic and we met with a Dr there that was willing to try the procedure to see if it would help. On 3/27/25 she had a single shot on the right side performed. The results have been very good. I have been logging each of the first 10 days and how it has gone. I will attach that log to this site.

Please note, we are NOT doctors and this isn't medical advice. It is however a personal account of a treatment she tried that has helped her as an individual. This treatment isn't a cure all but for LC sufferers it is something to be looked at. I wonder if it is more helpful if your symptoms fall more into the autonomic nervous system categories than others?
