recently found the podcast after I think you guys followed my IG. After listening to several episodes, I have so much hope and I just wanted to thank you guys for putting this information out there. I’ve been a paramedic for 10 years and I had no idea HBOT can treat PTSD, TBI, etc. I was familiar with it because of burn and crush patients. I recently was connected with SOC-F and subsequently the Warrior Health Foundation. I’m signed up and awaiting dates for TBI rehab. My private healthcare docs have been utterly lost on how to treat me and I can’t say enough how much hope I have now knowing I may get my memories back, get rid of the baseline anger and deep down rage. I owe it to my wife and kids to pursue this. Once again, thank you so much. I’ve been sharing the podcast to everyone who will listen! -Joshua Skovlund
I did not know where to start so I went back to the beginning. I will not dump a bunch of stuff on you all, but I wanted to say thank you. My name is Jamie Hassek. Retired Master Gunnery Sergeant with 27 years in and 2 as a retired Marine. I am a combat vet with you name it. Long time wrestler, football player, PTSD, Anxiety, multiple concussion, TBI, depression and the list goes on. I took a hard dive in June. I was crashing. As you know navigating the VA can be rough. All the people in the VA and treatment is great, but when you are down you need to take action as a leader. I started doing some research. Came across you through researching TMS. Jumped in with my own insurance. Got a new counselor out in town trained for people like us and I am currently in my 4 week of TMS. Simply said. Thank you brother.
thank you so much for this episode. I had a serious concussion at 17, then no more till 47. That one set off a cascade because it never fully healed (working single mom of 4). I’m now an active 55 and two months ago had maybe my 8th concussion or sub concussive event—hard to know cuz it takes less and less to trigger symptoms now and i stopped going to doctors about them cuz they were so uninformed. Just learned about HBOT and concussion TODAY!! I’m excited and I thank you for this episode. Tho it was geared to youth in sports I could tell you both really get it. I felt like someone understands and there is hope.
