I'm real sad to read that some of the symptoms have returned.
I think you should try to advice a hyperbaric doctor, maybe he could insturct you how to do a chamber profile on a line with scuba/nitrox.
Though I don't think many doctors would give free e-mail help to people they don't know.
Maybe contact DAN? do you have some insurance that include those kind of problems? (I really have no clue how freediving is covered).

I can try and get you some numbers/e-mails for Israeli contacts, either at Haifa (hyperbaric medical center) or Eilat (which has a chamber). Or make calls if you can instruct me how to approach this.

Tylerz posted he had been to a chamber recently, maybe he could give you more information about the process.

Is there any chance that smoke/gasoline/tar fumes from the crappy ride to the blue hole caused those symptoms? maybe you exposed yourself to that more than normal lately?
