Hi Lark77 , No,sorry, haven't tried a barometric chamber. Remember, no 2 people have the same MS experience. So just because it might work for someone...
Do your own research and decide what your own comfort level is.

Changes in barometric pressure can affect MS symptoms by potentially causing changes in the brain. Research suggests that barometric changes may temporarily cause brain areas to change in size and affect how blood vessels in the brain contract and dilate. These changes could impact blood pressure within the brain and potentially affect brain functioning. Many people with MS report experiencing symptom flare-ups, extreme fatigue, or migraines when there are significant changes in barometric pressure, such as during storms or weather fronts. However, while there are theories about how barometric pressure affects MS symptoms, scientists are still researching to fully understand the relationship.

Before trying any new treatment involving barometric pressure, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure it's appropriate for your specific situation.
