Hello,

I have had months of "dives" but initially they were to heal some wounds from my accident that caused my RSD/CRPS.
I believe it is like many treatments and if it is commenced in a timely manner close to diagnosis, there is more chance of a good result.
It did help the wounds somewhat and reduced pain over the time I had it but unfortunately it was years into my disease process before it was commenced so there was not a lasting affect for my pain.
It is covered by our medicare system here so there is no cost involved at all if you meet the criteria.
I would strongly recommend it as a treatment as it makes sense that high oxygen levels will improve the blood supplied to those areas which are affected and reduce the pain from poor blood supply caused by vasoconstriction caused by sympathetic dysfunction.
The actual treatment is not difficult but often boring as you sit for the 2 hours each dive.
It is important to be able to equalise your ears as when flying as you can have ear problems if you are unable to do so.
Like most things there are some possible side effects but these are not likely to occur if you are being treated at a HYPERBARIC CENTRE staffed by registered and experienced staff.
Any other questions please just ask.
Tayla
