Here's the link... somehow, when Ricky copy/pasted, it got an extra "[" on the end... the link works if you leave that off.

The concept is the use of a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to treat concussion/sports injuries, which would be the same concept of using an oxygen chamber to treat fibromyalgia pain.

There's a little boy who was injured in Hurricane Sandy in 2012, when a tree fell through the roof of their home, onto his head.  His parents were experimenting with an oxygen chamber.  I haven't heard recently how it's working out, but I have to wonder if that could be treatment for a variety of conditions.

The concept you posted it basically the same as the one OH posted.

Many doctors think the best treatment for fibromyalgia is thyroid replacement hormones, since fibromyalgia was not even a condition until the mid 1980's when it was decided that TSH would be the "gold standard" for thyroid testing and because the range was too wide, many people who had previously been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, were now left with no diagnosis... thus, those with widespread pain were diagnosed with fibromyalgia - fibro, meaning fiber/muscle and myalgia meaning pain...

Most symptoms of fibromyalgia are alleviated with adequate dosages of thyroid hormones, even when thyroid hormone levels are within the so-called "normal" ranges...
