Hi Jess,

I fly between Canada and Scotland at least twice a year and regualrly travel shorter distances by plane. I've never had a problem with any respitory symptoms - on or off planes. I have well-controlled moderate MG.

The worst part for me travelling is the long walks in airport terminals between connecting flights. There have been times I almost missed a flight because I couldn't walk fast enough.

I keep a very close eye on my meds while travelling (I take Mestinon every 3 hours along with a plethora of other pills). I find that making sure they are regular reduces my anxiety.

My advice to you is to try not to worry - it'll only make things worse. Just make sure someone you are travelling with is well informed.

Have a great trip!
