Default Considering HBOT Study - Looking for Input

Hi All

I have interviewed with Dr. Harch in New Orleans for his HBOT study on persistent PCS and have passed all the tests to get in to the study. I am trying to decide whether to do it or not. The treatment would be free, but I would have to pay for lodging, food, etc... Has anyone else here done HBOT before? Have any suggestions?

This is the way I see it so far....
Pros:
- Could possibly help my PCS symptoms get better of course
- Could help other PCS sufferers including Veterans
- Could help determine an effective PCS treatment that would be covered by insurance
- I will have the satisfaction of knowing that I tried all options to help get better

Cons:
- Traveling long distance and being away from my family for 2 months and alone in a new place
- The treatment could be ineffective
- Cost of lodging
- Maybe I should just stop looking for treatments and let time do its work?
- side effect risks? - Dr. Harch said some patients experience an increase in anxiety

Thank you.
