Fist ever appointment with him. He seemed extremely knowledgeable. He thought however that I have been misdiagnosed as having Kerakatonus. I am going to have several different practices over two to three decades to send records for his review I think he will indeed find that I had Kerakatonus. I underwent 40 dives in Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers. Not only did HBOT heal the serious form of osteomyelitis, but I experienced so many other health benefits. I suggest that HBOT reversed my Kerakatonus. I think further exploration if that might be factual and perhaps help other patients. Amazing if reversal is possible!
