Hi,

This is my first post, so glad to have found this forum. brief history. I am on a 16

month leave of absence from work. I gave myself my first concussion last

august, 10 days into LOA . was going to travel the world. first concuss was

much better by november so I decided to come to puerto vallarta to rest a while

in a warmer climate. I gave myself another concussion in march most of my

symptoms from the first one where gone, but still had a few. second one is

worse, screens hurt my head where they didn't on my first one. anyway, I

found out about hbot through some research and found out the actually have

a chamber down here. it is 5 times cheaper than in canada and the states

$40 a session compared to $200. So I was quite excited to try. I have had 7

Sessions so far. the results are mixed, I noticed almost right away I could

have more meaningful conversations and actually concentrate on what I was

saying and not forget things, my head felt clearer while doing it to. The only

downside I see is I have to take one of the rickety old buses about 30 min to

get there, you are being bumped around the whole time, it is not good. I am

thinking it is doing more bad than the hbot is doing good. to further muddle

it is doing any good is the fact that I think I contracted some kind of bug a

couple weeks ago. at least I think it was a bug. it could be pcs flaring up I am

not sure, I was fine, well with my normal pcs symptoms until a couple weeks

ago when I drove out to a friends place in his car. it was bumpy and I don't

do well with bumpy. the next day I was walking to the store and all of sudden

my head felt full, it was like I was under water, my hearing was different to. I

felt a little dizzy. I came home and rested and haven't felt really better from

since. I get nausea in the mornings. I had vertigo once. I went to a doc and

they gave me some parasite pills you take for 3 days but they didn't do

anythng. see then ordered a blood lab to see if there was any bacteria etc,

that was clean except my cholesteral was 221, not bad for a 47 year old, and

I am not over weight. she tried to tell me that was causing all my symptoms

wrote me a script for a statin...I haven't taken any as I really don't think that

is it. anyway, I went to a TNE guy after I had vertigo on morning in my bed.

he could recreate it in his office but gave me a script for serc. haven't had

vertigo since but lots of dizzyness especially if I move around to fast. mostly

in the mornings that bothers me. I am wondering if I should continue to take

rickety bouncy old bus to get hbot or not. it is so cheap here I feel compelled

get it. but I don't want to do more damage to myself. I would appreciate any

and all opinions because I feel all alone with this down here. my plan was to

40 treatments and then fly home to canada. mexico is not a great place to

have a concussion as it is loud, it is just a loud culture. I apologize if this is a

little long, thanks in advance.
