    Airtravel tips

    Thanks-Hi
    I will be taking my first airplane flight in OCT. We are going to Myrtle Beach,so its basically a short flight from NJ. I had read that if your prone to motion sickness, which I am, that the middle of the plane is better. But I will also need to be near the bathroom <img src="graemlins/toilet.gif" border="0" alt="[toilet]" /> for the obvious reasons. Any advice would be welcome if you can think of any.

    Hi JoJo

    I have been on several flights since being diagnosed with IC. As I am a Brit living in the USA I fly to England at least once a year.

    I always book an aisle seat, so much easier to get to the restroom. I also wear travel bands to stop me from suffering from motion sickness. They really work for me. you can get them from the pharmacy.

    I also try to take my own bottled water (Evian) and I drink sips of it during the flight to keep me hydrated.

    As soon as I board the plane I use the restroom too, so I can last until they take the seatbelt sign off again. Once I did use my "can't wait" card because we were on a bumpy flight and they hadn't taken the seatbelt sign off. I just showed it to the steward and he let me use the restroom in first class.

    Hope this helps and I am sure you will be just fine

        I'm wondering the same thing about the "can't wait" card. I've heard others write about cards. How can we get one of those?

          The ICA at http://www.ichelp.org sells restroom cards. I have one, but haven't had to use it.
