Oxygen therapy

[Teddysmum43]

Hi there guys I've just been reading about hyperbaric oxygen therapy and how it's been found to be very good for fibro. Has anyone tried this? We have a tank at our ms therapy centre am defo going to look into it.

Hi Teddysmum, yes I read about this recently also. I think it was done in US and same as you, sounds like it could be beneficial so please do let me know how you get on ☺☺☺

Not sure what this is? Peaked my interest because I need Oxygen Therapy as in an Oxygen Concentrator due to lung condition. It doesn't seem to affect FMS symptoms in any way, good or bad. 'Following' this post. xx

Hi Tulips. what they are talking about is those tubes where they treat divers with the bends.

As far as im concerned there is noooo way that they are going to lock me in one of those things.

I`d go stir crazy.

Oh, I SEE, said the blind man! MRI Scanners are bad enough, so I'm with you on that one! xx

Found trips to MS therapy centre and treatment in the chamber so tiring that it outweighed any benefits for me though it appeared useful for some of the others sharing the chamber. We were using a relatively shallow pressure setting so greater benefits could be possible if I could have tolerated them with less downside.

Thats the problem with a lot of treatments. Hubby tried hydrotherapy for his arthritis it took him until the next one to recover from the last one.

I was sent for physio, 3 times and exercise in between. the 3rd time they told me that i was worse than when i started and not to bother going back until i was better?

Getting well enough so you can be treat with something that may or may not work, probably not worth thinking about during brain fog

I am really getting fed up. The last few weeks have taken a toll and i am struggling just getting a drink from the kitchen without fighting for oxygen.

I Had a toddle down the garden just before tea, i took a couple of bread bags to tidy up after meg, then pulled a couple of weeds out.

Boy did i struggle to get back to the house.

I did find a small wonder. A bright orange balloon had become trapped in the middle of my overgrown rose bush, without bursting.

Nite my friend.

Hi Teddysmum43

Julie (my wife) and I have quite often thought about going to try this. Julie has Primary Progressive MS and we have open access to our local MS centre. They allow you to have it at reduced rates so it is quite good. I want to genuinely wish you all the best of luck if you decide to give it a go? Please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken
