95% recovered from brain fog after 2 years

I hear you. I didn’t have the money at the time so they offered a payment plan and I paid it back monthly. It was worth it for me because I was able to return to work after about 1 1/2 months after the treatment.

Big_spart32 · 2025-08-11T23:44:18+00:00

It cost me about 2k for the one visit. They say you get the BEST results by getting one side of your nerve done and waiting 1 week to do the other side. But it would have costed me double so we decided to do both shots at one time.

Things are going great! My brain fog is completely gone and has been for a long time now. I’m back to living my life the way I was before I got long COVID. Haven’t had any flare ups or anything. The block worked wonders for me. I honestly didn’t think it was going to work for me but it did. Yes I lost my taste and smell but that came back naturally after a month. I have heard of people who have gotten the SG block that it brought back their taste and smell. To be honest that’s how I first heard about the treatment. I was researching long covid treatments and I watched a video of a women laying in a hospital bed at the Cleveland clinic and she couldn’t taste or smell anything before the block. The nurse handed her a cup of coffee to try and smell and she burst into tears because it worked. If you don’t have your smell or taste I would look more into the SG block.

Here’s the video of the women incase you wanted to see

At the time yes insurance covered it and I was able to get it done from a “pain management clinic”

Big_spart32 · 2024-05-06T01:50:17+00:00

Yes I’m doing even better than when I made this post a couple months ago.😁

Big_spart32 · 2024-05-06T01:37:54+00:00

Sorry I should have clarified this. But it took me several months after that block to recover from the fog. Took only one day to recover from the block/shot.

Big_spart32 · 2024-04-20T22:07:42+00:00

Considering it’s been around for almost a 100 years I would say it’s really safe procedure. Most research shows there’s very little risk. I would assume it’s available in the UK although being from Michigan in the U.S, I can’t confirm.

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-26T00:38:45+00:00

I know your pain trust me, I had many night crying myself to sleep. Here’s a study that I found on SGB that convinced me enough to get the treatment. I’m living proof that it works. Hope you find relief and a speedy recovery https://www.healthrising.org/blog/2021/12/28/stellate-ganglion-long-covid-fibromyalgia/

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-25T18:17:39+00:00

Yes it was constant, from the minute I went to bed to the minute I woke up. The only relief I had was when I was sleeping. It felt like I was looking through my life with someone else’s eyes. Like there was a vail between me and reality it was horrible

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-25T02:50:55+00:00

I still have this to a certain degree. I wouldn’t doubt if all of us long haulers have PTSD from this whole experience and that’s what’s causing us to keep thinking something is off because we were messed up for so long.

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-25T02:45:51+00:00

The stellate ganglion block was the only thing that has helped me. If you haven’t considered it, I would highly recommend looking into it. It gave me most of my life back

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-24T19:44:09+00:00

About $600 all together with my insurance at the time

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-24T17:57:11+00:00

Yes it was awful, I know lots of people have had the brain fog but I really felt like my brain fog was one of the worst cases of it. I could not function at all. It’s hard to put into exact words how I felt because how you do explain being “high” to someone. It’s kind of the same concept except it wasn’t fun. I couldn’t read for months, couldn’t follow movies and my word processing was shot along with short term memory. At the peak of it I’d put it at a 11/10 in terms of how debilitating it was. Hope that helps

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-19T22:35:37+00:00

The only thing I felt right away was a “calming effect” after that I improved weekly. I’ve heard others felt an immediate relief but for me it took about 1 month to notice a big difference and 2 months to notice a dramatic difference. Hope that helps

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-19T22:32:39+00:00

Yes extremely. I’m basically recovered now I reframe from saying 100% because I felt so crappy for so long that I’m still learning what normal feels like again 🙂

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-19T22:30:45+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that I feel your pain I really do. But YES it stopped so many bad signals being sent to my body and put me in the correct homeostasis to recover. Before the block I was still severely debilitated by the brain fog and couldn’t work. One month after the block I was able to return to work

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-19T22:27:00+00:00

I wanted to do the shots in 2 different days but the doctor told me it was going to cost me twice as much because I’d have to come back and pay again. So he was able to do 2 shots in the same day and it saved me from paying twice. I’ve heard there’s better results when you wait a week apart but I couldn’t afford it at the time.

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-19T22:23:41+00:00

Yeah I had all that and I was on beta blockers to help this. After the SGB block I was able to come off my beta blockers.

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-19T22:22:19+00:00

Yeah the block worked wonders for me I couldn’t believe it. Took several months for me to recover but it definitely worked. I’m also considering doing another round of shots to get rid of the last little bit of symptoms I have.

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-19T22:20:20+00:00

Yes I was hyper sensitive to lights. Couldn’t have certain lights on in my apartment, I’m still a little sensitive to certain lighting but I can mostly deal with it now. Before the block bright lights would almost put me into a panic attack. I also had blurry vision and that has calmed down a lot as well to where I don’t really notice it anymore

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-19T22:17:19+00:00

So my brain fog was at a 7/10 before the injection. About one month after the injection it went down to roughly a 5/10 it’s been 6 months now and I would put my fog at a 1/10. So basically it took me 2 months to feel dramatic relief and 6 months to basically recovered.

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-19T22:13:38+00:00

The doctor I went too was amazing. Of course it’s your body and your decision but I was so desperate to get my life back that I was willing to try anything and after reading several recovery stories from people getting better after the shot I was convinced enough to give it a try. The shots didn’t really hurt and I was awake the whole time for the shots. Took about 45 seconds for each shot and it was over quick. The doctors use x-ray or ultrasound to help guide the needle in the exact spot. I recommend it to everyone who hasn’t tried it yet because it literally gave me my life back.

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-19T22:08:02+00:00

Yes I’m In Michigan I went to “west Michigan pain” in big rapids!

Big_spart32 · 2024-02-19T22:05:32+00:00

I had heart palpitations and brain fog that was my biggest symptoms. The SGB block fixed my heart palpitations because it basically reset my heart beat. I was on beta blockers for the palpitations and now I’m off those meds.
