Summary
A person with chronic fatigue who slept 12 hours without feeling rested tried hyperbaric oxygen after a naturopath suggested it. About six successive sessions brought them to almost normal, but insurance did not cover it and at $120 a session they could not afford more. Their chronic fatigue returned a few months later and they could not pay for further sessions; they thought 5-10 sessions in a row every few months would be ideal.
