Thank you so much everyone! Your suggestions are fantastic. You have given me several items to add to my shopping list.

To clarify, the only prescription meds I have are tramadol and pregabalin. I don't have any patches.

Yes, I am flying into the US from the UK. I will have to collect my bags and go through customs between the two flights. The airline have been alerted that I will need assistance but I will confirm this when I check in. I will also ask if I can pre-board and will alert the cabin crew to my situation. I will also confirm my seat reservations and explain why these are essential.

I really appreciate all of the advice. This is the first time I will be travelling since developing CRPS. Getting all of your tips has put my mind at rest because now I know I will be as prepared as I can be.

You guys are the best!
