There are a few common problems which anyone may suffer from: drink plenty of water, try to stretch so you don’t get stiff & have spasms. Do you need to be near the restroom? Ask for that seating.Do you have special diet restrictions? Tell them ahead.Wear comfortable clothing. Maybe wear layers, so if you are bothered by heat or cold you can add or subtract a layer.Remember the new restriction for carrying fluids on to the plane. You can purchase bottled water in the airport to carry on.Don’t carry on too much and over tire yourself.If you need any special transportation needs, call ahead and request them.My Mom had RA and used a wheelchair. She used to get a ride through the airport and got on and off the plane first. I had another relative who had MS. I don’t remember that she ever flew. Bring written Rx’s, if you need prescriptions, just so if something gets lost, you can replace it without hassle. I’m not sure how this works, if you’re in a different state, but I’ve heard having a written prescription in hand from your own doctor. Have a good trip!
