In an effort to collect data from active followers could we have the experiences of HBOT only people. I will start by saying my wife did this in the late 90's and it saved her life. It brought her out of bed, continued on orals and was able to function at a level where she could drive, etc. She maintained about a 65-70% of normal level on orals but that was coming from 20%. Unfortunately she was bitten twice again and then had a brain tumor in April. She is now doing HBOT again and will follow with MBOT but I would like comments on HBOT experiences.

Great idea. I did 40 dives over a 2 month period at 2.4 ATA. I was coming off a hardcore pulsed abx protocol with a famous LLMD and this was in early 2010. I recall an awful head and jaw ache through the teeth when first starting and which lasted 2 days. Otherwise I felt good with some very rough patches during. Overall I loved it. I wish I had kept a journal.
At the time they were recommending that those w babesia treat it also. There was no mention of bartonella, which also likes oxygen. The clinic had treated many lyme patients and no one had worsened. I did not sustain this feeling after the series ended.

CD 57 - Thanks for your input on HBOT! i saw that you didn't sustain the wellness, unfortunately. Do you still feel that the HBOT helped some things? Did you take abx while doing the HBOT?

I really loved it while doing it, but as seems to be the common thread, the gains didn't last. 40 hours is not so much in the grand scheme of things. But I do look back on that time as the most pain free and greatest sense of well being that I had in a long time. I did do some abx also, orals. But my docs RX was more about rest and repair at that point rather than kill.
I don't think it allowed my "oxygen loving" coinfections to go nuts either. The Lyme had been hit pretty hard at that point so it was mostly quiet also.
