Vacation Flare Up?
I just returned from a short vacation. Totally relaxing, non-stressful (except for getting lost in new places-lol). Only a 2 hour flight from home. Seems as if I got plenty of rest, but I came home just feeling awful.
This was my first trip since dx and I don't know if it was just the change in climate, temp, latitude, etc. The first three days were wonderful! Absolutely symptomless. I felt great and energized. Then the day before we left the weather turned chilly, breezy and overcast. I had a very mild sinsusitis attack, which is now mostly gone (only lasted two days--a new personal record recovery) but I'm exhausted, my chest is tight (last night I felt I couldn't catch my breath), I'm nauseous, my legs are weak, and I'm using my cane.
Is this 'normal' when traveling or is it just a coincidental flare?
I leave again for an overnight trip this coming Saturday, returning Sunday. Although it will cost me, I'm thinking of canceling for fear of getting worse. I have two more days to recover, but I'm afraid I will feel this way again on my return. Any input???
