has anyone heard of this and done any research ?

has anyone tried this ? If so did it help with any of your syptoms (or by miracle make your syptoms less all together or vanish, I doubt it but I can hope)

Members explored the potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for fibromyalgia after reading an article claiming it could treat or cure the condition, with many expressing cautious optimism tempered by concerns about cost and insurance coverage. Several members researched pricing, finding sessions ranging from $165 to $300 each with at least five treatments needed, though one member shared that Medicare recognizes the therapy and may reimburse costs, while UK members noted NHS funding could take months to secure. One member reported a powerful personal experience of undergoing 60 hours of treatment in Thailand at a fraction of Western prices, describing complete pain relief and restored cognitive clarity two months later, though they acknowledged initial discomfort and hoped the results would last.

I posted a pic on earlier today that I took from a ad in my local (UK) newspaper looking for people who have fibro and are willing to take part in medical research. Take a look on my updates to have look at it. I've not currently looked into it or at the website given.

I did 60 hours of hyperbaric oxygen 2 months ago. It hurt in the beginning of treatment but I am now 100% pain free and I can think again. I really hope it lasts I would recommend anyone to do at least 60 hours. PS. It is expensive so I had it done in thailand for a 1/5th of the price

Ok I just looked it up it said for private clinic treatment it costs 165-260$ for 90 minute treatment and costs 1800$ in a hospital. It did say medicare recognizes it and reimburses you. I have medicare because of being disabled so I may call medicare tomorrow and see how it really works with them maybe they cover all of it which would be nice. So if medicare covers it I would assume other insurances cover it as well wouldn't you?

I haven't come across the price yet or if insurance will cover it, but I'm going to look into it and I'll let you know what I find out. We will have to compare notes on cost difference between UK and the us

#tamischlette I was reading up on the financial side and apparently the treatment can be anywhere between £50-£300 and you'd require at least 5 sittings. does this match what you were reading ?

in the UK, the treatment could fall under the NHS but may take months for the funding to be approved :/
