Hyperbaric relief

[bygolly]

I have the same symptoms, and find the same relief.

As far as I know, there is no research into changes in brain chemistry as a result of exposure to high ppO2s or ppN2s over time, but from very unscientific information I've gathered over the last five years, I'm absolutely convinced there is something, either about weightlessness or about breathing at those pressures, that alters the CNS. I'm not the only person who thinks diving is an antidepressant! AND diving, for some people, appears to have something in common with painkillers, in that it is addictive enough to get folks into trouble (divorces, etc.)

So the answer is that there isn't any science, but I agree with you.

Thank you Lynne....that was exactly the kind of response I was hoping for. Now that I am aware of the effect on myself I am going to ask the question of others whenever I can...my own unscientific project.

Cheers,
Bill
