Hyperbaric Oxygen for IC

[SWhit]

Has anyone tried this for their IC? I did find some promising studies on it that were done in 06 in Germany and talked to someone that it helped with bladder symptoms. I could only do it for 8 hours because it's so expensive, but I did notice some positive changes. Towards the end of a week of treatment I noticed that I was sleeping really well, didn't get night sweats, and had less pain when I woke up in the morning. I also like that there are no side effects. I have tried many meds and treatments and they made me worse and didn't work.

I'd never even considered this as a therapy. I'm glad to hear you've had such positive results. Perhaps you could print off the studies from Germany and approach your Urologist. Maybe he/she would like to continue the study.
