Hi,
I know you posted quite some time ago, but I was wondering how you are doing. Would you consider the hyperbaric therapy a success for you?
My son just completed 40 sessions of hyperbaric therapy. In addition to doing the hbot, we are also working with a doctor who supports him nutritionally and with homeopathics, and we see someone weekly for cranial sacral. I should mention that he is also taking Keppra and Vimpat. Prior to hbot the neurologist was talking about starting another medication, now we are looking into lowering his Keppra with no addition of other medication. His last seizure, thank God, was in June. Prior to that, he was having at least 2 seizures a month with the average lasting between 3 to 5 minutes.
Would love to get your input. If anyone else is interested, please feel free to comment. Thank you in advance for your time and attention.
