I can imagine the high from the HBOT. As for the light on your feet, did they use oxygen or helium? LOL.
What kind of supplements did you take after the Neuroscience tests? What did the tests report you were deficient in?
My physician has put me on bio-identical hormone therapy. I was low in testosterone and DHEA. He also added 5000 IU's of Vit D3 and I added B-2. I have had much better sleep the past few weeks. None of the body twitches, restlessness and nightmares.
And, did the Canadian health system pay for the HBOT or is it a cash expense?
I am interested in how you do after your next head to the ice event. If you get another concussion, you might ask your physician if you can get some progesterone within the first few hours. It has been shown to protect the brain cells from the cascading injury after brain cell injury.
Google brain injury and progesterone and see what comes up. Impressive.

Hey Mark!
I am aware that Im going to need several sessions, im gonna start with 20 and see how things go.. Im going to be going 3 times a week until new years.
My neuroscience test showed I lacked a few things, I posted the results in another thread. I was on Balance D, Adrecor and Travacor for probably 3-6 months in total. My adrenals were really messed up and the Adrecor definately resolved that.
This is a personal expense. Its going to cost $5000ish im sure, but quite frankly if its showing results then its worth it. I really feel like im on the final stretch as far as my symptoms are concerned and this could be the thing that finally kicks it.
As for on ice injuries, Ive had a few pucks to the head and everything it happens I get scared. I went ot the chiropractor the next day (I know what ure thinking but im telling you hes more than just a chiropractor) and had him make some adjustments... I actually did not have any relapses as a result of the puck...
thx for the advice, ill keep everyone posted, this week im going monday, wed and friday
