Default PCS and flying.

Hello,

I have had PCS for 2.5 years now. I've never enjoyed flying, in fact it stresses me out and makes me nervous. I would do it but never enjoy it. I have not flown at all since having PCS. I have been very nervous about feeling even more dizzy while up in the air and so have just avoided it altogether. A year ago or so, I had a panic attack on a train. I felt claustrophobic and panicked. A psychologist told me that this was a symptom of stress caused by PCS. I therefore didn't want this to happen on a plane for obvious reasons. Although I feel less stressed and more in control of my syndrome, I know I can't avoid flying any longer. I would like to start flying again soon but if truth be told, I'm very anxious and unwilling.


Would love to hear your comments on this.
