Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
there was just a post that may be on page 2 or 3 called fear of flying...is that the way your going? are you staying with people you know or in a hotel? how far away...travel companion?
all those variables come into play for me. i have been able to plan out some enjoyable trips with the right planning...each time, i've learned something else. i'll check back and see what you add. :)
The last time I flew..I showed the boarding steward my bag-o-meds...and asked to board with the handicapped so that I could be sure to sit on an aisle in the back...so I could stand as much as possible without inconveniencing anyone. ( yes..sitting is harder than standing, sometimes)... he allowed it...and the crew was very nice about letting me stand at the back cabin as needed.
It doesn't hurt to ask for what you need..the worst that can happen is they say no..:-)
Good luck..hope you enjoy your vacation..
Hugs..jc
