Hi SandyK. Great to hear that you are going on holiday. I remember you were talking about wanting to go when we were there at New Year. Three suggestions from a medical perspective: 1. do a Fear of Flying course - if you have time; 2. Take the medication the doctor has prescribed for you on the day. It will make it more manageable; 3. break the whole thing down into manageable chunks e.g. don't think of it as having to fly to get there - step one - pack your bags, step 2 go to the airport - step 3 check in etc. Whatever periods of time are manageable for you, even if it's only five mins at a time. And as Jackie says you don't have to get on the plane if you really don't want to. Hope you do manage it though as it will be a lovely time for you and hubby to get away. Let us know how you get on.
