Hiya all,

Here's the thing. I haven't had a breakthrough since 1999, (where my
legs gave out, and I fell to the floor). i.e. grand mal, tonic clonic
as they say nowadays. Put it this way, I have more auras than tremors.

I would dearly love to go to Mexico City Airport ***just to make a
connection*** that would take me to my final destination which would
be at sea level.

What's the elevation at MEX?  The airport is 7343ft or 2238m. I've
read on the 'net that commercial aircraft are pressurized somewhere
between 5,000 and 8,000 ft.or 1524/2438m. I've been flying for years
and never had a problem.

I've spoken to my neuro, and he said that if one was well controlled
you (the general you) could climb Mount Everest, which is the world's
highest mountain, at 29,000ft. or roughly 8839.2 meters.

Eagerly awaiting your reply. Thanks.

I asked similar about a year ago wrt. Hawaii (check history). The plane
will be pressurized before you leave, if you're going to have a szr.
you'd have it then.
Fr. ranges you listed you're within the ranges you listed anyway?  G./
