A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am being treated to a week away from sunny uk , just my partner and myself and it's the first time since my brain surgery and having fibromyalgia.

The flight was fine - took a soft blanket a pair of soft cosy socks and snoozed a little all in all much better than expected- if only every travel experience was the same. Nothing for it I will have to fly everywhere 🚁✈️ 😂
Thank you all for your advice the holiday was amazing and my rowdy brood of adult children/ grandchildren and fur babies survived.... bring on the next one as my body loved the sunshine ☀️

I was dreading going on holiday with my adult family a few weeks ago thinking Im never going to cope but I was surprised that everything was fine and I actually felt really well. It was a 3 hour flight too but wasn't too bad. Hopefully you will have a great time.

In addition to the above great advice, wear compression hose to keep aching down in your legs and feet. Be sure to drink pure water. Sparkling is fine. And just in case you're sensitive to sound, bring earplugs and lastly a few healthy snacks. I hope this helps. Have a great time.
