Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

I did it -30 sessions in 2017

it was in a single tube and I was very claustrophobic had to take Xanax before each session. I am not sure if it helped me very much.  I was pretty sick back then. It’s extremely expensive I was lucky to have j durable. Over it and be out on FMLA while I was doing it

I finished 30 sessions earlier this month and have had very good results.  My pain level was 8-9 and I had 25-30 trips to the bathroom per day when I started.  My pain level now is between 2-4 and I have 10-15 trips per day.  My body has responded very well and the doctors have ordered 30 more sessions which I started last week.  My issues may be different from yours but there is probably some crossover.  When I started I had 4 fissures, mild pouchitis and bad damage to the cuff due to a combination of UC and radiation damage. It is a noninvasive therapy with low potential for side effects.  I also had some other treatments and meds.  I had the Botox shot and Kenalog steroids for the fissures which helped.

I wish you the very best!  Please ask any questions you may have. (I've done a ton of research)

Susan where did you have treatment? Were you in an individual tube?

Kate, I had treatment at Retreat Hospital in Virginia.  Yes, I was in the individual tube. There are 2 in the room and you each have your own tv. I watch rom coms and do my pelvic floor therapy exercises.  Where did you do your hbo sessions?

I did mine at Houston Methodist and it was the same individual with the tv

I just had a really hard time my pressure in the tube was 2.0 very disoriented for awhile afterwards
