My nanan suffered from MS and she tried the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber when she was diagnosed (almost 4 years after the symptoms had begun - her doctors had diagnosed her with MS 6 months after the symptoms started but didn't tell her - my mum found out by looking through the medical notes!) and it helped her a bit but her MS soon went Progressive so it stopped working.
The HBO made her feel really tired but helped with some of her symptoms and she could do a bit more after the therapy. She had sessions every week at an MS clinic until it stopped working and the doctors told her not to try it.
We looked into HBO for me as I have a disorder called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome which is similar to MS in many ways but my doctor said he didn't think it would help me. Whilst we were looking into it, there was quite a few sites stating that it can help with MS symptoms - though of course, it cannot 'cure' it.
I'd look into it if I was you and see if theres any helpful sites about the use of HBO in MS sufferers - it can't do any harm!! Maybe talk to your Doctor about it also and see what he/she thinks.
I wish you the best of luck should you wish to look into the HBO - please keep us posted!
