Hi Anacrusis, yes, I've flown since sev'l times, but after a serious walking/dypsneic problem in the Charlotte Va airport, my neuro practically ordered me to not even try to walk like that again, so now it's a wheelchair, which I truly dislike, but is obviously nec....the flights are ok if I meditate somewhat, but very weakening, difficult to walk out to that wheelchair again, lol.......I'd rather drive...
As for medication, can't take the mestinon cuz I'd never make it on a plane with it's side effects, & it doesn't help enough to even try....haven't been on any other since I had adverse pblms with streoids & with my history, I don't want to try anything else....
BTW, all my pulmonary tests taken via 2 pulmonologists were normal; immediately after that last one, I got up to leave, was so weak I almost fell....2 nurses helped me to a stool to recover, which took sev'l minutes...but did that get into the record?? of course not, & that same technician was brutal to me, pushing me & claiming I was not trying, which of course was not true...& so the story goes....but then you know 'bout that, right??
