Anyone had major relapse after travelling/ holiday???
Posted , 6 users are following.
I went to America to visit my son in October. I didn't feel that well before I went( but who does with this!). However we are now well into March and I've been so much worse since then. He lives in New Jersey ,so the flights about 7 hrs. I have had red,dry eyes for years( long before I was diagnosed with Fibrom 18 months ago) in America I just completely dehydrated. I looked like an ancient tortoise and my eyes looked like I had a bad case of conjunctivitis . I did my level best to appear normal( as we do) but I felt so ill I just wanted to go home. No matter how much I drank,how many eye drops I used or how much face cream i slathered on it made no difference.
Im upset because I'm almost frightened of going again as I just went down hill afterwards. Has anyone experienced this? I always feel dehydrated,but this was on a whole new level. I want to be able to go and see my son and grandson,but the symptoms were just awful. ( and still I pretend I'm ok!)
any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

I too have just come back from visiting my son and grandchildren in the UAE.
Same as you I am feeling so dried up,your comment mirrors the way I feel too.
I felt the same way last time I visited....I can only put it down to stress of travelling and pretending I feel ok while there.Eyes and nose so dry,and skin like tortoise (made me laugh)tortoise skin perfect description!
Tomorrow I have to go into hospital for an operation,I am dreading it, as my nerve endings are so sore just now.
Hope you recover soon,maybe treat yourself to a deep skin facial.

One thing is certain, I will never be able to fly, or even take a holiday ever again. I'm so sorry for your situation as you need to see your family, but believe me, this condition is a real devil. Airports and flights are always stressful, I don't think there's any real solution...........
