Dr. Qais Bastaki asked me to post this. His father has post-herpetic

neuralgia after Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus + a complex medical history

 

Dr. Bastaki seeks a referral in Kuwait or nearby states in the Middle-East to

a TCM expert who has treated post-herpetic neuralgia in complex cases like

this. He asks especially if Stellate Ganglion Block could benefit his father but

is open to other methods that could be effective.

 

Please post any such contacts that you have to the list.

 

Many thanks,

Best regards,
