Summary
After a stellate ganglion block given as part of a PTSD study at NYU, the person reported only exhaustion on the day of the procedure. A week later they described noticing changes every day: finally able to nap, tight muscles relaxing, pain much less, and enjoyment of a family event with people who would usually trigger them. They felt heavy and tired in a good way.
