Hello, Vicc

I appreciate your replies to my various questions. I have a few regarding HBOT, if you wouldn't mind answering them.

I may have an opportunity to access HBOT, at an alternative medicine Doctor's office. My younger brother has autism, and so my family has worked with this Dr. before. If he feels comfortable treating someone with HBOT that has RSD, then I might give it a go.

I understand now a lot better why you feel HBOT is the only treatment for RSD if you are looking at it from an IRI standpoint.

In order to completely heal I understand that you need more than a few treatments. But, approx. how many? And how often? Is it a long term thing (months and months of treatment) or 4 weeks will do the job?

You speak of setting the HBOT chambers at certain depths... how do you tell a Dr. (who knows or at least thinks he knows what he is doing) not to set it at certain depths or to set it at a certain depths?

Since you claim it has been successful in others with RSD, how many others do you know who have had it and are doing better from it? Can you put me in contact with any? Are any here on this board?

Thanks again... I am willing to try just about anything about now... and HBOT sounds hopeful.

Hi IHH,

Just want you to know that I'm working on a reply. The last week or so has been a lot of pain, and even sitting partially upright hurts a lot. Haven't learned how to type laying down yet.

I will finish my reply...Vic

Thanks... no problem!! I completely understand. Whenever you get the time!

I hope you start feeling better.

HI Vicc and IHH

I am looking forward to your reply too Vicc, you always have such interesting posts.

But until then I am sorry you in so much pain. Sending you

I too look forward to hearing anything I can regarding HBOT.

Thanks for taking the time when you feel up to it to share!

Gentle Hugs,

Rain

Yes, I have had HBOT. I have had 90 "dives" in the last 15 months.
Unless you are lucky enough to have an individual HBOT "tank" then the depth you get taken to will depend on the diagnosis of all the others who accompany you on the "dive"
I have had my treatment in two different centres, one had room for 10 people on board and the other 8.
Please feel free to ask any questions you would like.

Hi IHH, Rainbow, shelley and anyone else,

Since your question relates to my posts on Buckwheat's thread; vascular issues, I'm going to post my reply there. It's possible that my remarks about HBO there might be useful in understanding this reply...Vic

Thank you very much, Vicc.
