Any experience with hyperbaric oxygen treatment?
Looking into hyperbaric oxygen treatment for spouse with frequent headaches and recovering from radiation treatment. Seems to have fair amount of official acceptance, but a fair amount of "cure everything" claims to. Also seems to be something HNers would be intrigued with. Would appreciate anyone's "take" for this long-time HN reader. Thank you.

I have an acquaintance who went to the hospital within 24 hours of her first hyperbaric treatment. She was coughing up blood, iirc: "I warned you about this, don't do that again."
The antidote for oxygen toxicity is somewhat therapeutic, beyond neutralizing the toxic effects of O2.

1. Cutting out coffee for a few weeks completely - it's not necessarily the caffeine but can be hormones or other in the coffee. 2. Try and get a prescription for amitriptyline - I had severe migraines for months and was prescribed it as it can "turn them off". It did, and as a side effect made me way less grumpy and anxious. In the meantime, I stopped drinking coffee, I then came off amitriptyline and then about 6 months later started drinking coffee again and the migraines came back.
I've also done HBOT as I had Bell's Palsy and it worked amazingly well in helping me recover from that. For anything else, do your research on NIH, not here.
Good luck.
