Im worried that much time in a pressurized cabin may be too much for me and contemplating canceling that trip. thanks for your input.

6 months after I sustained my concussion, I took a business trip which required me to change planes twice. The altitude changes definitely triggered migraines and excessive fatigue for me...just when I thought I may have been feeling better (a week later), I needed to do the same trip back. Same issue..migraine and fatigue.
Ironically, I went on a cruise (prior to my injury I suffered from motion sickness after disembarkation) and was absolutely fine. Still had headaches, but more cluster and less migraine like.
I wish the best for you...everyone is so different, I hope you tolerate your travels well.

Default Hmmmm...

My neuro says no flying for me...I never really asked why because I hate flying and thought it was a great excuse not to. I'll have to ask him next time I see him, but I'm assuming it has something to do with air pressure.
