Guest guest Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hi Mike Good question and nice to meet you!! I had a car accident which ruptured my inner ear in '02 - I had extreme vertigo for quite some time after that. I was operated on after about a year and whilst it seemed to fix it a bit, my balance was never the same again......especially since diagnosis with 'MS' in '06. In '04 I arrived in the UK from Australia and have flown back and forth many times since. I was concerned that with my balance and vertigo issues that I would've had some issues, but I haven't thus far! *knocks on wooden coffee table* 'What we do in life, echoes through eternity.'

This is the first time I've posted to ask a question. I have PPMS and so far been able to keep at bay with an all natural and BB Diet. I am going on vaction for the first time since I was dx in 2007 and I'm wondering has anyone had any bad experiences with the change in pressure while flying as my vertigo makes random appearences as well as a feeling of increased pressure in my head.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hi Mike, I am also PPMS, 5 years now. I have been on two airplaine trips (4 flights) since diagnosis and did not have any problems with change in pressure. I had been concerned about that as well, especially as in general I sometimes have cog fog issues, sinus issues, clicking in the ears, and odd pressure in the brain. But none of this was a problem on the 4 flights. The bigger problem was trying to stay on a good diet while traveling. ________________________________ To: mscured Sent: Mon, January 24, 2011 2:15:36 PM Subject: MS and Dlying Hi everyone I've been a member for a few years but just watch and listen.
