Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment

I was wondering if anyone has experience with this treatment. I’m thinking of trying it for my pain and fatigue. I’ve been reading quite a lot about it and MS patients seem to have a lot of success with it. I’ve also been told that it’s good for fibro. Any positive comments would be great.

I've heard of it and would like to get fibro patient's testimonials regarding this treatment. Here in the US it is very expensive I think...like maybe between 5K and 10K for several visits.

Funnily enough it is not too expensive here compared with other treatments. £15 per session which lasts at least an hour . 20 sessions are recommended for fibro patients.

I tried it a few years ago, had 5 or 6 one hour sessions …. didn't notice any significant improvement in my fibromyalgia symptoms apart from slightly more energy for an hour or two afterwards - but it never lasted long. xxx

I’m hoping that it will help my energy even if it doesn’t hit the pain. 🤞 xx

not used it myself but have seen amazing results in dogs with spinal nerve damage where there has been accidental damage. Like you I have done some research and it seems some MS patients have found relief.

I’ve tried so many different non medicinal treatments and haven’t had any success. I’m going to try this as I feel nothing ventured nothing gained. Hope it’s not another waste of money! Will let you know. X

I have narcolepsy and heard it helps with that. So... it makes sense it would help with FMS. Where I live in USA I have seen several places advertise oxygen chambers and they are reasonably priced at spas, yoga centers, and other non doctor facilities. They would probably be more expensive at a medical center. Let us know, how it is, if you do try it.
