Aloha, I have previously submitted my story but then did not know how to get back on until recently when I came across this site again, then I seen a question from Brenda and I feel so bad that I did not get to respond. Brenda I hope you see this…(sidenote:) I am not an expert: but I feel it is never to late to start hyperbaric no matter how long you have had RSD or how bad it is. There is no window…I have seen someone who has had RSD pain for 49 years get better. Just keep it up. It is expensive, and I put 3 years into it for about 1-3 months a year, but it is the best thing to get your life back on track…I did, and I am still paying for it but I don’t care, at least I can have a life again, the bills were ALL worth it. Don’t sell yourself short!! YOU are worth it! And check out different clinics for pricing, they have a big range, go for the least expensive as long as they are clean and have experts working there you will get the same treatment. Don’t go for the flashy or ones with TV if it costs more, go for the one who are the nicest and most compasionate. I travelled to Richmond, B.C. Canada from Hawaii as their prices were great and they were very knowledgable and helpful to me, and kind which we need. For RSD you DO need the DEEP dives like 40 to 45 ft! This is proven although I don’t have the information on hand, I do know every dive I have taken has been a deep dive and the deeper the better for RSD. I did 40 my first round then took a much needed break, then did 20 sessions 2 weeks later. I started at 2 dives a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, and this seeemed to help. I started seeing results after 20 treatments or so, but then is not the time to quit!!! Keep on going, and you just keep getting better and better. Even after 3 months at home I still was seeing improvment after my first 60 treatments. It was amazing. I am now probably at 85-90% of my pre-rsd condition, although I have some days my legs get sore, and I have to rest and my brain is not back to its usual capacity, at least the pain is very rare and far between most days. I can drive again, walk again, but am not back to running or jumping or anything, but at least I can cook and clean and spend time with the family again and be “normal” to the best of my ability. Anyway, I hope this helps.
