Re: Hyperbaric Chamber Treatments

[Guest guest]

Barb,

Please keep us informed as to when you return for treatments with the HBOT.

I did not realize this about the ear pressure, which makes sense. I have

been considering treatments and because of the cost have been hoping to find

someone with mold exposure who has done a series. (Recomendation at the time

was 3 x a week for 2 months with the cost not covered by my insurance and being

well over a few thousand dollars) In 3 years I have yet to hear of anyone

who has done these treatments for mold and the cost is probably a main reason

for this. I have much difficulty with ear pressure to such an extent that I

avoid flying. These treatments may not work for me either because of this

problem.

The physician that promotes the HBOT for illness due to mold also relays

they help with cognitive deficits from the mold exposure. I wonder if they

also

help with MCS? It sure would be worth it to have at least one person from

this group try a series.

Sharon,

They charge you less if you buy a 'package' of

10-20 treatment, etc. I just wanted to try one

for starters, so price changes for frequency of

use, but about 145 for my one treatment. It was

an hour long. They took me down to 20 feet since

I was beginner. Goal is to get down to 45 feet

for me. It depends on what doctor says. Since I

had trouble with my one ear getting down to 20

feet, I have to work on ear before going back.

It is much more pressure change than you

experience flying since in flight, cabin is

pressurized for your comfort. Goal in HBOT is to

pressurize you so o2 goes in deeper. I'll let

you know. I plan to take a series. I doubt you

can tell anything significant from one.

I don't know anyone else that is doing them. I

didn't think of it for detoxing, but have been

wanting to try them for my frequent migraine

headaches. Now I have liver trouble apparently

so thought I would go ahead. They use it in

hospital for deep tissue repair so I figured it

might help my liver. My doctor have me a Rx for

catscan of liver but havent't done that yet since

wonder if radiating my liver would do more

damage. I know they say it is lightweight but I

have lost confidence in information from medical

community. I WILL be using Rx for catscan though

perhaps having a series of HBOT since I had

cancer in area and so I do need to have picture

of area taken soon. It's been two years since

surgery removed small amount of cancer so about

time to look at area again. Incidentally Dr

Croft review surgery tissue from my surgery in

2004 and said cancer found is consistent with

type of cancer caused by mycotox damage and

another Dr said the fact that oesophils were

found at cancer site indicate it molds/funguses

'might' have been cause, so two opinions on that.

Hi ,

It is Cincinnati Hyperbarics at Cole Center here.

So, maybe one thing I don't have to fly out of

town for. I wish I could afford to just stay in

one!!!!

I didn't anticipate the ear thing either. A

person who got in after me just laid down and

relaxed. The first ten minutes I was in there, I

was constantly trying to pop my ears, jawn,

swallow, etc, a real struggle for me. I have

since I have been a child had a tendency to

develop lots of wax and now I hear using a Q tip

can push wax deeper inside ear. I have heard not

to use Q tip but unless I know why, I'm not a

good patient, so now I know why, can almost

picture that.

& Barb,

I reciently have started doing Hyperbaric Treatments with MUCH success.

BUT...

I know people that did the treatments right out of their homes/work, only to

spend a lot of money... and then a few years down the line still have symptoms.

Hyperbaric is NOT the cure-all- but it sure helps.

If your " center " or doctor knows about mold toxins, then they should know

about the ear issues we have, and work with you accordingly.

When I did my " set " of treatments, I felt better than I have in years!!! I

had energy, I could think clearly, I slept.

Please contact me directly, if you would like more informantion. I can

share my experiences in finding treatment- and yes, sadly- no insurance coverage

for this.

Hi Sharon M,

What great information. I came home and feel

asleep early the day after my treatment and

wondered if it had something to do with

treatment. I will keep the email and contact you

if I have questions. Thanks

Here is an interesting link about hyperbaric oxygen.

I developed MCS following a severe mold exposure in 2001 and am

currently on a desensitization program etc. I want to tell you about

my incredible HBOT story.

Last November I had a perfume exposure that knocked me for a loop;

lost 6 weeks of work; and left me with severe total body pain 24/7

which is so very debilitating and exhausting; and increased

sensitivity to triggers.

In April, I requested a trial of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (after

reading research material on a variety of subjects including

strokes). To make a long story short, I had 3 - 1 hour sessions a

day apart. And to my amazement and delight, the pain started easing

off during the first treatment, and was totally gone after the third

treatment, and lasted for six weeks! YEAH! I also felt generally

better, with improved concentration, stamina, etc. but the pain

relief was so unexpected and a very welcome change.

Because there is so little available research, I want to share my

story with you. If others have the horrible pain, please give

yourself the opportunity to at least try HBOT.

The cost of treatment was $100.00 per 'dive'- a one-hour session.

Best wishes to all. I am not able to check my messages regularly,

but will be interested if others try HBOT and if it affects their

pain status.

The short answer is 'no'. But since I became sensitive, some odors

while unpleasant haven't caused severe and immediate symptoms

(Headache; nausea; vomitting; brain fog; loss of concentration; joint

pains; muscle aches; chest pain; shortness of breath; high blood

pressure etc). I have noticed that if I notice a smell and get away

from it that the symptoms often don't escalate as they had before. I

still have moments when that one 'exposure' hits me like a 'hammer'.

I didn't expect the HBOT to 'cure' me, but it has certainly shown a

marked improvement in my quality of life. I find that about a month

following the hyperbaric treatment that I am more sensitive, and

often one hip starts hurting, or a shoulder etc. So I am trying to

plan treatments on a monthly basis at this time.

Definitely a work in progress, but it is truly nice to find something

that works,

Cheers,
