As with any treatment there are always side effects and things that can go wrong. This is why you see it so often on the forum 'everybody is different'. I have done a total of 125 HBO dives. There is no such thing as a maximum limit of sessions. If my doc felt I would benefit from more I would be having more. In fact my ENT had mentioned doing a few more dives to help me heal, I wasnt interested in that option unless absolutely necessary. I am a big supporter of HBO, Ive seen first hand the healing benefits it helps with.
