I can no longer fly due to the harsh pressure. My doctor said that my RSD has already so much pressure on my spinal cord and when I fly the pressure gets so much high at the base of my neck right below my brain it causes me to become paralyzed to where I cant move or speak at all. I basically cry, and become so low in oxygeon that I pass out within 1 hour. If I was needed to fly in anyway I have to use air ambulances or if its commercial I fly with either 2 nurses or 2 emt's which they put in on an IV and completely sedate me and keep me on oxygeon then when we land an amulance transport me to the hospital for about a week or until the pressure releases. Due to all those complications I havent flown in 3 years, instead my mom drives every where we go whether its 20 miles or 3,000 miles when we go home to Alaska for the summer to spend a few months.
