There is not much you can do other than try to stay calm and, if it helps, take medication for your headaches. Mark is right about cabin pressure. It usually increases headache and fatigue. If you are flying to Germany from the US, expect to spend at least two days recovering from your fatigue. Even standard jet-lag causes problems. PCS will make them worse. It can take up to a week to feel totally back to where you were before the flight--which, with PCS, is not a great place!
