Summary
This young girl received a right-sided stellate ganglion block (SGB) followed by a left-sided block the next day, after long COVID had left her "flat on her back" and unable to form words clearly. Ten minutes after the first injection she sat up and looked like a normal young girl again, and after the second block both sides of her body were moving normally. The improvement held: she was reported "perfectly fine" for at least three months afterward, with a later video showing her ice skating with her dog.
