How was it for you when you traveled by air on vacation with epilepsy, do you have to be careful
Anything I should know
I've been on trip by plane a lot of times and ialwas keep my med in the bottles with thier lables and my pill box for the week and have them in my carry on bag wich i can put in the overhead compartment. And i aleays go on trips with my friends who know my seziure history and know what to do if i had one.
I only had trouble once flying, i was returning from europe to Australia. I was so exhausted and going through so many different time zones and was so exhausted that I started having sezures. The flight attendants were great. They moved me to some seats tha were empty and I fell asleep. Since then I have only travelled QANTAS it costs more but at least I feel safe.
I never had trouble flying. Before the plane took off to the sky, I would chew some gum to reduce my ears from popping. I would also warn the people by me that I have Epilepsy.
traveling was fine for me. Always take important info and all meds with you in a carry on bag never put meds in luggage. Mine got lost once and didn't get them for 48 hrs good thing I put extra meds in my purse.
i have been on a lots of airplanes. before you get on the plane, you can get an alert necklace. also before you go travel label every meds in big bold letters. when you get to the luggage metal detectors, tell um that i have seizures and my meds help me lessen my seizures. are you going with friends and/or family that knows what to do when i have a seizure? i say this because it is a lot easier with another person.
