mikeh2017 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Hi All, went into cycle last week while on a trip in Asia, currently got an o2 tank but worried once I am on the plane. Any tips for travelling during a cycle? Any tips would be appreciated! Best, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiny Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 You can read of suggestions for kat on her recent trip and what her experience was a little way down on the board. That has all the most current data already input kat92's post is two posts down from yours. You are currently in Asia and the return trip is the worry, correct? First off, search for and stash several Energy Shots if you can find them where you currently are! Sorry for the new cycle start Michael!! That really bites when on a trip! Do you have a doses pack of Prednisone? Can you get one? I would want that to use for a week and try to get a break in the cycle before or if that is too late, then anytime before flying! The highest dose is the first day and by the 2nd day, I am out of pain till the dose drops lower. It will provide you with a break from the cycle. More to follow I am sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat_92 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 @mikeh2017 hi! My flight was much much shorter than yours, only about 2.5 hours. So I am not sure if this would make a difference. I have a feeling you are more likely to get hit during take off and/or landing when there is a rapid altitude change. As opposed to once the plane has reached its cruising altitude. I had ice cold Red Bull ready with me. I also had no caffeine the day before each flight. I began the loading dose of the d3 regimen for a week prior to the flight. I think this particular bit helped tremendously. Also, I drank tons and tons of water to make sure I wasn’t dehydrated in any way. That is a big trigger for me. I took 2 500 mg Tylenol 30 min prior to take off and landing. I also dosed with shrooms about 2 or 3 times leading up to the trip. I’m not sure on what your access is via this route. It would help to note I am not currently IN cycle, but I have found that for me, even when I’m not in cycle I can trigger an attack. Drinking alcohol, not enough water, lack of sleep etc. I hope this helps! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
