When we were attacked on 9/11 many of the most selfless people I’ve ever known stepped up to make the security of our nation their personal responsibility. I am incredibly humbled and honored to count myself among those volunteers. As an Iraq and Afghanistan combat veteran, I left the service with an immense amount of pride but unfortunately, I also lost friends and suffered TBIs. Later, I started having nightmares as well as suffering with sleep issues and anger issues (among many others) for about a decade. I didn’t know anything about HBOT and was extremely hopeless that things would ever improve. Best decision I’ve made in a very long time was to try it! My sleep improved drastically. My headaches and nausea went away, and my memory significantly improved. My mood improved for the better! I was lighter. And work seemed manageable again. I now work as the Veteran Program Director at Charlottesville Hyperbarics, and I can’t wait to introduce others to HBOT for PTSD/TBI symptoms. Hyperbaric Wellness Foundation hopes to play a role in their HEALING and not just help them manage their symptoms!
