MY NAME IS DEB AND I AM 52 YEARS OLD. IN 2005
I SUFFERED A CLOSED HEAD INJURY DUE TO A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT.
I HAVE BECOME DISABLED DUE TO THIS INJURY. WHILE SEVERAL OPERATIONS
HAVE FIXED MY LEG ENOUGH SO THAT I CAN GET AROUND FINE WITH
NO PAIN, I STILL SUFFER THE EFFECTS OF THE HEAD INJURY.
I RECENTLY BEGAN SEEING A DIFFERENT NEUROLOGIST
WHO THOUGHT HE COULD HELP ME. THIS WAS EXCITING AS ALL OF
MY OTHER DOCTORS HAD TOLD ME I HAD PRETTY MUCH RECOVERED ALL
I WAS GOING TO AND WOULD HAVE TO RELEARN WHAT WAS NOT WORKING
CORRECTLY. THE NEW NEUROLOGIST RECOMMENDED AN IMPROVED DIET,
VARIOUS SUPPLEMENTS AND PRESCRIBED 30 HOURS IN A HYPERBARIC
CHAMBER.
I BEGAN VISITING THE MIKEY CENTER ON MAY 7TH
AND SO FAR HAVE COMPLETED 4 SESSIONS. I AM STARTING TO NOTICE
SOME CHANGES.
THE HEAD INJURY CAUSED ME TO LOSE MY APPETITE
AS WELL AS MOST OF MY SENSE OF SMELL AND TASTE. MY HUSBAND
WOULD HAVE TO TELL ME TO EAT OR I WOULDN’T. SINCE STARTING
THE SESSIONS MY APPETITE HAS IMPROVED. (I GET FLASHES OF SMELL
AND TASTE AND HOPE THEY RETURN FULLY.)
I HAVE LOADS OF ENERGY SINCE STARTING THE
SESSIONS. THIS WEEK I HAD TO STOP TAKING ONE OF MY PRESCRIBED
STIMULANTS AT NIGHT BECAUSE I COULDN’T GO TO SLEEP.
THE HBOT ENHANCES THE EFFECT OF MEDICATIONS.
I HAVE NOTICED SOME SMALL IMPROVEMENTS IN
MY SHORT TERM MEMORY AND MY ABILITY TO THINK QUICKLY. WHEN
JOKING WITH MY HUSBAND AT LEAST TWICE RECENTLY I HAVE COME
RIGHT BACK AT HIM WITH A SNAPPY COMEBACK.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE IMPROVEMENTS.
MY COORDINATION AND FINE MOTOR CONTROL IS STILL OFF. MY BRAIN
PROCESSING SPEED IS STILL MUCH SLOWER THAN PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT.
I CONTINUE TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS IN MY SPEECH ABILITY. I AM
HOPING THAT CONTINUED SESSIONS IN THE HBOT CHAMBER WILL ALLOW
ME TO EASILY RETRIEVE INFORMATION STORED IN MY BRAIN LIKE
I USE TO.
I FIND THE SESSIONS VERY RELAXING. ONCE IT
GETS TO THE HIGHER ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE AND I CLEAR MY EARS
I TYPICALLY GO TO SLEEP FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SESSION.
