Hi Sydney,
I am probably more knowledeable about HBOT than just about anyone here. In fact, I am writing an article about RSD and HBOT I plan to submit for publication to a medical journal on HBO.
If you read the thread Fact, Fiction and RSD, you know that I believe that it is more likely that this disease is caused by what is called an ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) than by a nerve injury, HBOT is often used to treat IRI.
A number of RSD patients have had HBOT, some with very good results; some with brief remission followed by catastrophic relapse. I am sure I understand what causes the relapses and how to prevent them.
Unfortunately, I have been working on the article I mentioned most of last night, and am too tired and weak to write at length right now, and I feel I need to go into some detail, describing what appears to have been effective in preventing relapse and the reasons I believe that HBO chamber operators use too much oxygen and too high a pressure to offer the best outcome in treating RSD.
It usually takes me a full 48 hours to recover my energy after writing so long on my article, so I will probably need that much time before I am able to write in detail about why I think RSD patients need a lower concentration of oxygen at a lower pressure.
I will reply in as much detail as space allows sometime Saturday. Then you will have the opportunity to review my reasoning and decide whether it makes sense to you...Vic
