I will be traveling next month for medical appointments and testing and could use advice as this is my first time flying since becoming ill.
I’ve been mostly bedridden the last 3 months (my energy is extremely low and my heart jumps when I’m sitting or standing) but I’m able to walk about 10-15 feet if holding on to something & going slow. My husband will be traveling with me & we’ll be taking a wheelchair. We’ve purchased 3 seats on the plane so I can lay across him for the 3 1/2 hour flight.
We know this is going to be a tough trip that will most likely lead to another PEM, but any tips that anyone can share that might make it easier, I would really appreciate!
