Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for Lyme Disease Lyme Disease is debilitating. It can be invisible, with symptoms that range from joint pain to nerve pain to extreme fatigue. When the origin and timing of the bite are unknown, it can be nearly impossible to take advantage of early antibiotics. It is a complicated disease, often accompanied by co-infections, with their own symptoms. Westen medicine has yet to provide satisfactory solutions for Lyme, but hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been proven to be a tremendous help relieving symptoms and conditions associated with Lyme. With HBOT, Lyme sufferers can live their lives again.
