You should be encouraged and we must never give up hope. I still deal with pain BUT I am so much better for having the chamber. Some people say they have been cured by HBOT, but for me, not true. But if you could have seen the amazing results I got, and am still getting you would understand how thankful I am to have tried this crazy thing called HBO. I have had 3 series of 40 dives each, plus numerous dives at home. I am doing a series of dives currently. Look up HBOT&Alzheimer, HBOT& Arthritis, HBOT& antiaging, HBOT & inflamation and anything else you can think of. I know it is not a cure all, but the benifits are amazing and research is on going in many areas concerning HBOTand treatment for various diseases. When searching also use HBOT and Canada, HBOT and Austria, HBOT and UK for a more varied search. I wish you all the best. Keep me posted. Di
