Leaving 9/14--so nervous, not sure why????

[zscfan]

OK, so after waiting since July, we are leaving in less than 72 hours!!!! This is our second trip, but instead of being excited, I feel nervous (not good nervous)!! I'm almost packed, almost ready, have to buy some last minute items today, but I should be good.

I think I'm nervous because I came down with a mild flu/cold on Tuesday and I stayed home from work this week to make sure I kicked it before the trip. I feel 95% better, a little bit of stuffiness, but now I'm afraid to fly with sinus congestion!!! (I'll be taking Sudafed this weekend as well as the day of the flight.)

Also, in the past, I have suffered with terrible migraine headaches....I got one yesterday (one of the worst ever), and it was scary. I realize other people have much bigger problems than migraines, but yesterday was really bad for me. I told DBF that it is scary to be that sick (migraines with vomiting so bad I was considering going to the ER).

Now I'm afraid I'll get another headache like that before or during the trip!

Thanks for letting me vent!!! I just need to calm down and focus on the positive.

Carry your meds with you just in case. Two years ago, before we ever left our home airport, some woman sat down beside me in the terminal. To the best of my judgement, I can only guess that she fell full body into a perfume display @ a department store. I was sick as a dog & did not have any Zomig on me. (I did learn a valuable lesson here tho)Please learn from my mistake. I did have some over the counter migraine, which helped, but that headache stuck with me for over 2 days. Please learn from my mistake.
And do what you said, just be calm & good excited. It's Disney after all

OMG - This could have almost been me posting. I leave tomorrow and I am more nervous than excited.

I came down with a bad cold on Saturday, and was sick all weekend. I stayed home from work on Tuesday because I still wasn't feeling well - then I came down with a migraine because of my head being so stuffed up (I think that is why). My migraine didn't get as bad as yours, but it was a pretty bad one. I made sure to get a refill of my Imitrex so I have plenty in case I need it.

ALSO - I went to the doctor yesterday because even though my cold is mostly gone, the congestion has gone to my head (and ears). I went to make sure that I didn't have an ear infection because I too am afraid of flying with the ear pressure. I was told that I just have fluid in my ears, but there isn't any pressure on the eardrum, and I have no infection. The doctor just told me to chew gum and to have a drink to sip on in the plane because both will help with the pressure in my ears. I will also be taking my Sudafed, and I bought Earplanes ear plugs because my friend said they worked great for her when she flew with a cold (somehow they regulate the pressure in your ears). I am afraid that TSA is not going to allow me to fly, because with all of my over the counter medications, they will probably quarantine me

I think we both need to relax, because I am sure we will both have a great time. If you see some crazy lady walking around with her head tilted to the left - wave, because that will be me still trying to get my ear to drain

Have a great trip!!
