I am flying alone for the first time since Being sick. I've traveled by air twice since my diagnosis and both times have resulted in 3-4 day migraines and hideous pain.

Fever few tea also helps with migraines
Drink ginger ail . It helps the migrains
For sensory overload i have invested in super dark sunglasses and quick on, quick off ear protection....looks like wearing headphones...or u could do an ipod with relaxing music. Wear your most comfy clothes n shoes. They make a blow-up neck pillow thats easy to carry. Ask your doc about a med to prevent migrane, nausea or any other symptoms. I also resorted to muscle relaxer to deal with the anxiety the first time i flew.
Thank you all for your well wishes and tips! I had a wonderful trip. My pain levels were really high the days I flew as well as the day after each, but I was able to abpid a migraine. I am so glad to be a part of such a kind group of people. Thanks again!
