Hi Eileen,

I read your post to Jane abt the HBOT in Great Neck. I live in Queens and am

very interested. I had NO idea that there was a HBOT place in Great Neck.

Funny cuz all of my docs are right in that area. Has it helped you? If so ,

how much better do you feel on a scale from 1-10?? And is it very expensive

like everyone says it is?

I hope I don;t sound too nosey, I'm just very interested.

Thank you in advance for your response.

Dear Jane,

HBOT is available from the Hyperbaric Services of America on Community Drive

in

Great Neck. My daughter and I have completed 22 treatments; 8 to go for this

round. If

you want anymore info just write.

Dear ,

, who owns/manages the IV therapy in Dr. Burrascano's office, started a

company

called Hyperbaric Services of America and he has 2 chambers in Dr. B's building,

and 2

in the Lake Success Business Center on Community Drive (almost opposite North

Shore

Hospital). I'm still not finished my treatments, and it's too soon to tell how

and if it

has helped. I stayed at the Mc House for 1 week, but the other 2

weeks I've

commuted back and forth from New Jersey, and that is very tiring. It is

expensive; it's

$125/treatment, and there are 30 treatments/set. It's recommended that one does

2 sets

of 30, ~ 2 months apart. gave me a deal and he has done it for another

parent and

child; I got a reduced rate because my daughter and I go in together. He has a

woman who

works on getting the treatments covered by insurance, and we had a go at it if

we just

used my daughter's case (Oxford says I don't have LD), but her PCP refused to go

along

with it, the ignorant ass. He wouldn't call Oxford for the pre-authorization and

wrote a

half-hearted letter of medical necessity (basically said that I was requesting

the

therapy so he was writing the letter). The nurse who has taken care of us most

of the

time tells me that she has seen all but 1 Lymie report feeling lots more energy

~ 3

weeks after the last treatment. I don't think you were nosy, and I'm looking

forward to

meeting you at Gettysburg! I hope I remember right and you're going.

Regarding HBOT, I have a question. I have heard of people who mention that

they have more energy and I have often wondered about how it affects other

symptoms as well. What about the joints or lyme brain etc.? Renie

Eileen,

My LLMD has recommended Hyperbaric too. But I checked in my local & driving

area, and it was much more expensive then 's. But LLMD said he has

never been successful in getting insurance to pay, since its considered

" alternative " therapy. So let me know if you any luck. Your doctor that

wrote that letter is worthless! The way he wrote it, he might as well have

not written anything at all. But good luck. Even if it doesn't cure your

Lyme, it still has beneficial effects on your health. I've seen a lot about

it on Discovery and it really helps your immune system fight harder, so that

is a good thing. Good Luck, Vicki, Md

I wanted to let you know that the Chico, CA HBOT are $125 per treatment and

they are really willing to work with people. Long way from home but a

thought. We are thinking of diving again. Both Annie and me. Meg
