Can anyone tell me if flying makes this problem worse ie. does it bring on an attack. I am concerned as I would like to take my son on holiday, we have not had a holiday for 7 years. Thankyou.

    Hi Julia, I recently did a 7 hour flight to NY and thankfully it did not bring on my TN pain :-)

    Julia - Two months ago I had a 7 hour round-trip flight and I got along fine.  I also take pain meds daily.  Wishing you the best.

    We took several big trips. Flying was never a problem. My doctor loaded me up with meds for emergencies, but I rarely needed them. Go have fun! Then come home and get it fixed! That's what I did.  Good luck!
