I pushed myself through a vacation with my family a few months after my main symptoms got bad and it was much needed. It was an altitude decrease for me, which yes the pressure was there as well as the light issues but in my attempt it was worth it. It wasn't much worse to me than a normal rainy day pressure and though I don't remember all of it I had a great time and so very needed to get away.
