thank you for the expressing the frustration and despair of "when am I going to feel better?!" so many valuable snapshots of what it can be like in this video!
This is such an interesting video of your recent experiences and very well presented. I agree that you do look a lot better after starting the HBOT. I have had several sessions myself recently. Not for long covid but symptoms similar to many long covid issues. I hoped it would help me with autonomic dysfunction, neuropathy, IBS/C, gastroparesis and digestive issues, chronic fatigue, weakness etc. I absolutely loved my sessions feeling better immediately after each one. After my 5th treatment I managed to start wiggling my toes which I had not been able to do for at least 5 years. My pain also has reduced considerably. Unfortunately, like you, I recently contracted covid. For me it was the first time, but also, like you, the virus went directly to my most sensitive area, my gut and played havoc there. Months later I am still suffering from the effects. Barely able to eat or sleep and much weakened by it. And most unfortunately, I too can no longer tolerate the pressure of the HBOT treatment. I am eagerly waiting to heal enough to be able to return to HBOT. Wishing you and all us chronically ill people a full and speedy recovery
Thank you for sharing your experience of HBOT, it is so encouraging to hear the positive affect it has had for you. Wishing you a full recovery and that you will heal enough to be able return for more sessions.
If you're still doing HBOT, you may look into lower pressure. There are studies that show it to be more effective for some ailments. I do HBOT in soft chamber at 1.3 ATA and it seems to help but I haven't tried a hard chamber at 2+ ATA. Hope you turn a corner. I'm on second long haul after a full recovery from the first. This time I have dyautonomia, shortness of breath, GI and thyroid issues. It's no fun.
Thats rough! I can not imagine being hit by long covid again after a full recovery. Thanks for sharing your experience using a soft chamber. All the advice I received at the time was the higher the pressure and the more often you attend the better. It is interesting as looking back I do think I felt best at the start when I was only doing 2 treatments a week and at the lowest pressure available.
I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with Long Covid. I have tried so many treatments, supplements and practitioners over the last 3+ years. I pegged HBOT as a miracle cure before going in and although I found it great for relief from pain and other symptoms as soon as I encountered a trigger my symptoms returned. On reflection a year on I understand HBOT would work best in conjunction with treating the root cause of my long covid and would help accelerate my healing.
I tried it and didn't feel like it helped much. After 3rd treatment had pretty bad chest pain so i stopped. I was in a tube. Different than what you did. I also ended up with collapse lung which I think caused it. But not sure just got covid 2nd time but don't think its from covid.
I've put the locations for each in the captions. I tried the wellness lab in Knightsbridge and the MS centre in Hertfordshire. Both were great and staff very friendly and caring.
The suggestion of the pressure choice: if for daliy health care,you are able to chose the pressure range from 1.3~1.5ATA If for rehabilitataion ,used for disease treatment or commercial use,1.5ATA at least will be a better choice.
Hey i know this is a strange question but i wanted to ask how it feels wearing big mask in the chamber? Does it force you to breathe ? Your breathing sounds are intense when you are breathing through mask.
The mask doesn’t force you to breathe, the sound is the oxygen travelling through the tubes attached to the mask. It is very loud especially when the chamber is full of people. The tubes restrict your movement and cause the mask to pull downwards on your face which can be quite uncomfortable. The mask is big and bulky and although not painful it is a relief to take off at the end of each session.
This is a hard question for me to answer. It is still very up and down and I still need to dedicate all my time and energy to taking care of myself. I am noticing some small improvements with my focus and mental clarity. I know I still have a long way to go but I feel much more hopeful than I have in a long time.
and the desperate! Unfortunately illness is very expensive, but like I said in the video MS centres offer HBOT at highly subsidised costs. Still not free I grant but I haven't come across an effective therapy that is yet.
thank you for the expressing the frustration and despair of "when am I going to feel better?!"
so many valuable snapshots of what it can be like in this video!
Thank you! Yep there have been many moments of frustration and despair but somehow we get through them and keep going 💪🥰

Where are you getting the HBOT therapy?
I've put the locations for each in the captions. I tried the wellness lab in Knightsbridge and the MS centre in Hertfordshire. Both were great and staff very friendly and caring.
It did not work for me. What pressure are you using?
What is the optimal pressure in the chamber? Is mildHBOT also beneficial? 1.4 ATA?
The suggestion of the pressure choice:
if for daliy health care,you are able to chose the pressure range from 1.3~1.5ATA
If for rehabilitataion ,used for disease treatment or commercial use,1.5ATA at least will be a better choice.

@@njoyliving thanks for the reply. Get well soon
How are you currently doing?
This is a hard question for me to answer. It is still very up and down and I still need to dedicate all my time and energy to taking care of myself. I am noticing some small improvements with my focus and mental clarity. I know I still have a long way to go but I feel much more hopeful than I have in a long time.
audio is so low... cannot hear anything
How much does it cost where you went ? In the US its $300-400 per session 🙄
Wow! They are a little cheaper in the UK. At The wellness lab the sessions I tried were between £90-£125 and at the MS centre they were £30 each.
@@njoyliving that's amazing
How are you now?
I do feel some improvements since I filmed this video. Still got a long way to go.
treatment for the rich
