Today Peg began week 2 of HBOT! This dive was at the goal "depth" of 2.4 atmospheres, and we expect future dives to be at this pressure. Peg began feeling sick about mid-way through the dive, and she was very tired when the dive was complete.
So far, her Herx reactions have been consistent, but not overwhelming. Peg's symptoms have been exhaustion, nausea, headaches, emotional upset, soreness in her hips, legs and heels, and some brain fog. Fortunately, the symptoms come for a while and then go away, so she feels almost OK much of the time. She's being really strong, so sometimes it's hard to know that she's in pain or struggling.
We don't really know how long the reactions will continue, but we pray they won't get much worse. We that know soon, there will be a time for dancing:
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance...
- Eccl. 3:1-4 (NIV)
