Hi, I'm an lpn...my husband is a combat vet with PTSD and mtbi he sustained from multiple ied's rpgs, mortars etc.... Anyway, I figured anyone reading this read would be interested in the science behind it, or have some insight into effective ways to treat combat ptsd. My husband used to take up to 15 pills a day for various reasons....several psych meds. Its called the Stellate Ganglion Block. We went to Chicago on January 17th, 2012 and he did this procedure under fluroscopy. Isnt' that neat? Its just another way folks. Please educate yourself and others about this treatment. Even though its only been 11 days,we have seen a marked improvement in ptsd behaviors. I am incredibly interested in finding new ways to treat old problems....

Hi! I haven't been on this site forever, but I thought I'd give ya'll an interesting topic. I'm an LPN at a VA where I live. My husband is a combat vet (PTSD/TBI thank you Iraq.) On January 17th he received a stellate ganglion block for his PTSD symptoms, and so far, though its only been 11 days....it appears to be working. Dr. Eugene Lipov in Hoffman estates in IL did it. I just thought that was pretty awesome that this procedure has shown some promise in PTSD world. I was getting fed up with the pills....

I'm an LPN at a VA hospital. In Minnesota. Its known as a psych hospital but we are expanding our services at a very fast rate. The benefits for full time are awesome, this is true. The pay is good, and the hours are like any other hospital. Rotating shifts. Day/eve day/noc or I do just straight noc. I wouldn't work anywhere else.... Its got its own culture though that's for sure :)
