AlaskaMike,
Yeah, $15k to $30k to $100k is way too much for me to afford. If I did have the money, I'm not sure where I'd put it. We live in a small condo. We'd have to rent a place to put it causing even more expense ... not to mention all the set-up including oxygen. I'm limited to 2 atm because of my Medtronic's pump. I've been going in every 2 weeks to have it filled while undergoing treatment. Medtronic recommends it be full to protect the pump. It has been a bit of an inconvenience, but I have to protect it. I can't get treated in the hospital because HBOT for CRPS is off-label. The FDA has not approved it ... Yet. This is the biggest rub. Once it does, then perhaps others in the CRPS community will be able to afford the treatments and get them in a local hospital.
Believe me, I'm really not complaining about sunny Southern California. It is that, exactly. The weather is beautiful. It has been beautiful during my 5 week stay so far. Okay, there was one 1/2 day of rain.
Thank you for your response AlaskaMike!
