Real Life Stories
Oxygen Therapy for Fibromyalgia – Lizzie’s story
I started Oxygen Therapy in March this year to help with Fibromyalgia. I was overjoyed to find somewhere in Kent that provides Oxygen Therapy.
There is such a nice welcoming atmosphere at the centre. From the first week l felt so at home. Everybody smiles there and no one bats an eyelid if have trouble with speaking or any other problem. Even if you walk in for the first time and sit on the lovely comfortable chairs, someone will talk to you and you will hear laughter everywhere. Once there I don’t want to go home.
The treatment has really helped with my energy levels and brain fog. I was relying heavily on my stick when l first started. Now l can happily walk round the centre without it. I feel happier and better in myself and consequently in less pain. My depression has also considerably improved.
I believe l would have been crazy not to give this treatment a chance. I love the centre and have made some great friends.
If you are in two minds about Oyxgen Therapy, I would definitely recommend this treatment. You could change your life.

How do I access Oxygen Therapy at the centre?
Just give the centre a call to arrange a face to face pre-treatment assessment with our Support Manager. Details of your condition and any prescribed medication will be taken; this will be passed to our medical advisor who will decide on an appropriate treatment protocol. During the assessment you will be given a form to take to your GP, once your GP has signed the appropriate form the treatment can commence. A full explanation of how to use the Oxygen Therapy chamber will be given at the assessment.
What are the costs involved?
Sessions can be booked individually or in blocks of up to 20 sessions. Block bookings paid for in advance attract a discounted rate.
All money raised from Oxygen Therapy treatments goes towards the running costs of Kent MS Therapy Centre.
