This is I.T. (Inconvenient Truth)!!! – Planning for the Holidays

Hey everyone! I know life is crazy with the holidays coming up! With the holidays, that typically means traveling! Traveling can be hard for people like us, so if you have any good tips that get you through a flight or road trip, please share them!! Happy Holidays and Safe travels for everyone.

For me personally, I try to stay as comfortable as possible in the car or airplane by wearing comfy clothes and bringing a pillow. I'm also not against melatonin or anxiety medicine before traveling! It helps me stay relaxed And with that... I'm off on my 4 hour drive back to Dallas! —By Ally Zinsmeister.

Jaclyn Drexel—I always take tums everywhere when I travel. The vibrations activate mast cells (I have Mast cell activation disorder, which is common with RSD) and so when those cells release histamine I will get anything from heart burn to nausea to rashes/hives. The Tums helps with the heartburn and nausea and benadryl or zyrtec help with rashes and nausea as well.
I also plan time into my schedule to rest. My family knows that the first day after travel I WILL be sleeping or at least curled up in bed with minimal exertion.

Lastly I always travel with a pillow and my meds on my person and never checked! This helps decrease stress and the possibly losing them.
