Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / May 2006question on flying ?
I am scheduled to fly out to California in 9 days, off the enbrel now for 2 weeks and boy can I tell no energy at all, I see the neurologist this Wednesday so hopefully she will say the lesion in brain is no big deal and tell me I can go back on enbrel, we will see. I have down with bad allergies and possible sinus stuff, went to doc but she said didn't look like infection. Take allergy meds and nasal spray. Has anyone ever flown with sinus problems and if so what are some good tips for not getting worse ont eh way down. Last time I flew I ended up with bad headache and vertigo. Thanks Becky > Has anyone ever flown with > sinus problems and if so what are some good tips for not getting worse ont > eh way down. Last time I flew I ended up with bad headache and vertigo. Becky, Suggest you use a good decongestant before you fly. I once took a trip with a mild cold and came home with an inverted eardrum - very painful. That was the only time I had problems, though, and I was flying every couple of weeks at the time. Have a good trip, Dave Dave, Thanks, that is what a stewardess friend of mine told me also, start some Sudafed a day before or so before I fly and then take it just before takeoff and landing also.

One of the things that bothers sinuses in flying is the incredibly dry air in plane compartments. The dryness irritates the sinus tissues (unless you live in a desert so are used to it) and that can ultimately kick up the congestion. Saline spray will help keep the sinuses moist so the congestion will drain.
