Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 The chamber I was in was not a monochamber, I can't handle small spaces either. This chamber holds 10 people at a time, and the person who is trained and owns the place was in the chamber at all times with me, that was very comforting. There were time when I was herxing, dizzy, and very tired when I got out of the chamber (during the 40 dive protocol) Now, I drive myself for the maintance dives (every 7-10 days) It is one hr drive for me (in Houston) but, I don't get sick on the way home. Sometimes by the time I get home, I am tired, but still fix something to eat and juice carrots/celery/cucumber/ginger. jill1313 <jenbooks13@...> wrote: I personally couldn't handle the claustrophobia of a small steel/glass monochamber and freaked out when they shut the door and demanded to get out. Sometimes apparently valium will help some people. I also am of the persuasion you don't have to dive down to 30 or 50 feet. But if you do get reactions it could be herxheimer. On lymenet, wildcondor thinks the monochamber is the best, actually, and helped her a lot. It's very good adjunctive therapy. But if you can't handle the small space consider a multichamber which is like a little submarine and you can sit up and feel much safer. You're with other people. You could also check into the home hyperbaric chambers, join this group: lyme & mild hyperbaric. It's a quiet list but the archives are good. The home chamber I have is very roomy, two people can easily lie down or sit up in it so I never get claustrophobic. It only goes to about 11 feet of pressure. > > how did you get used to the small space? did you feel funny at 30ft? > when you came out were you feeling wierd? i think that it might help me! > but my doctor believes that it is not worth trying at this time.i have > encephalopothy and i believe that h bot e\will help! any suggestions? > eric Questions and/or comments can be directed to the list owner at -Owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
