    HBOT - absolutely worth it!

    Each session is about 1-1.5 hrs. You go in a small “tank”. Google it and you’ll see what they look like. Hard to describe in words. Your ears will have to equalize as the pressure goes up. You’re wearing an oxygen mask. Each session is anywhere between 100-200. No downtime afterwards except...

    HBOT - absolutely worth it!

    I posted a few years back about my experience with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. I should have given you guys an update after a year because that’s when I realized it was really helping with fibro pain and exhaustion.

    HBOT - My experience

    Jay - I didn’t know that something like that even existed! I’m sorry it didn’t give you relief tho😞 I’ve done 20 dives in a soft shell now and I can tell that the hardshell is key to my relief.

    HBOT - My experience

    Do you know what the ATA of pressure was in your chamber? How many times a week were you going? I’m sorry to hear that it hasn’t changed your Fibro pain 😔 I’m going on 19 sessions at 2.0 ATA for 1-1.5 hours 3x a week. It has relieved my lower back pain tremendously. It also cut the duration of...

    Pregnant - C section or Vaginal?

    Thank you diamond and Sagey! 1st trimester was rough with going off all fibro meds and the usual 1st tri symptoms like nausea and exhaustion. But 2nd tri was GREAT! I was on cloud 9 - even ate foods that would normally give me a flare. Fibro was at a level of 3 out of 10 at worst in 2nd...

    Pregnant - C section or Vaginal?

    Aloha all~ it's been so long! I've been away growing a little something =) I am 8 months pregnant! It was unplanned as I was afraid that fibro and back history would prevent me from being the mother I needed to be but the universe had other plans and gave me a magical gift that I couldn't deny...
