I finished up the 40 dives this week of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
I started this process to help my focus problems that started Eight years ago with a brain bleed.  As I've stated before I would read 3 to 4 books a week until the bleed.  I haven't read a book since due to focus problems.  This is in addition to severe balance and sensory difficulties.
     My initial hope was to bring back my reading skills.  Any other progress with my balance or sensory challenges would be viewed as a bonus.
Two weeks previous, after the Oxygen pressure had been increased,  I noticed that my vision was markedly better.  I mentioned this to the tech and he nodded knowingly and said "it's due to the increased pressure and it's temporary".  He was right.  The improvement in vision lasted only several day's.
A day before my 39th session a woman from the main office asked me to show up early for an exit interview.
During the interview I was asked weather I had seen any improvement in my focus or balance.  I had to tell her no.
Having completed 40 "dives' would I recommend HBOT?
I do know it works in certain situations,  in my mind not enough research has been done to give a cogent answer.  I have friends who have MS and have heard too many good things not to.  A lot depends on if you think you can afford it.  The cost is high, dependent upon where you live, expect $180-$200 per hour.  I got lucky and had benefactors,  thank you, but it ain't cheap.
Am I glad I did it, yes.  I would have driven myself crazy wondering if it would help.
In my exit interview it was mentioned that positive results could occur later on.
I'll post later if that's the case.

The process has become routine. About Thirty five minutes into my 17th dive,  I was watching the documentary "The Royal House of Windsor" when I  looked to my right at the tube next to me.
In that tube was a young woman with a toddler on her chest.  The woman was dressed in scrubs and the child, I'm guessing One year old, was in a sweater and pants. 
On their screen was a children's program.
Before I started this process I checked with medical professionals I knew about HBOT.
One of them told me about a patient who's grandchild, who is autistic, was going through the treatment and having some success.
I have no idea what this child's problem is or if indeed the toddler is sick but I wish the mom and her child well.  
​I sometimes suffer from claustrophobia due to frequent MRI's, but never when I'm in the tube as it's totally clear.  I've yet to see any progress in response the tech said he would check to see if they could increase the air pressure in response to my lack of progress.  Like the old coach I remain pessimistically optimistic.  18 down 22 to go.
