Better health. You mentioned curing your DP with Magnesum , b6 and zinc. Can you tell me what kind of dosages you took?

Also Canadian here. Sent my passport renewal in. Spoke with Lipovs office. Will be flying in beginning of March to give this a shot

Completely off topic and don't want to derail the conversation from the SGB.

I finally after 12 years am trying to beat this. Got me some supplements, got a couple cognitive behavioural therapy books an started to see a Psychologist. Now something I have noticed so far on my journey is that upon waking my DP/DR is 10x worse.

Also something I have known for years since I got weed induced DP is that I don't dream, or at least don't remember my dreams. I think I may have 3-5 dreams in 12 years that I remember upon waking.

I googled and didn't find much, a few study suggesting people with PTSD and dissociative disorders will sometimes not actually sleep without knowing it. They will have crazy anxiety and think they are asleep but are not in their half awake brain. I wonder if there is something out there to stop dreams Lol! Or to remain calm when I sleep to see if it starts helping.

Just let everybody know. I am booked in Vancouver BC, Canada to get a STG in the C6 and C3 done next Tuesday 27th. If you never heard from me again it worked and I have left this place forever! otherwise I will post and update most likely the next day.

Block today at a private Clinic in Vancouver Canada. Even though I had a referral from my doctor stating exactly why I was getting it. I guess he didn't read it. Was literally in operating room, with gown on going over all my file. He has this wtf look when I explain to him it for disassociation and PTSD. He had to leave to go research it for like 20 minutes while I sat there with the nurses. He's quite experienced 30+ years. Agreed to do it when he came in because he knew if he didn't I would be flying to Chicago and he didn't want me to have to pay 3x as much and go to USA.

Did C6 and C3. It's been 6 hours now roughly, mentally I'm not sure how I feel since I'm in so much physical pain from it. Droopy red eye, massive headache, and massive nasal congestion (all gaurenteed symptoms) so tired and wanting to go to sleep but I can't because of my nasal congestion. Price to have this done was $1400 after taxes at the private clinic here. Just to be aware for any of my Canadian bros even though it's a private clinic in Canada you still need a referall from your family GP.

I don't expect a mirical. But I'm about 1 month in to my healing journey after 12 years with this finally truely believing this is just anxiety for first time in my life and I had money to spare. I made a ton of progress in the last 26 days on my own before this.

Honestly I probably won't post about this again until I'm about 5 days to see how this goes and continues.

In another week I will post a major update on my entire recovery process and how I got to where I am now after 12 years.

Ok, I know most of you would like huge details, but honestly im trying to recovery for the first time in 12 years so I don't like to think about or type out my symptoms to much.

I am making huge strides in recovery I believe after only a month of trying, constant tiring grounding myself 24/7.. so I don't know how much this SGB has actually done in past few days. If I had to guess it would be little to nothing. I had C6 abd C3 done. I have not noticed any more drastic improvements from my DP outside of what I have already been experiencing on my own recovery journey.
