Probably too late to get one now but always best to take a letter from doctor saying you are safe to fly too. A plane once got held up and airline was going to kick me off (I was already on it by this stage.. I'd booked ahed for one of their wheelchairs and all seemed to go well till I was onboard) as they suddenly got too worried that I could be too ill to fly and started demanding letter from my Doctor saying they wouldnt let me fly otherwise.
(i think I had so much trouble as I actually looked quite unwell too.. very dizzy and wobbley when I was on my feet, I think I scared them.. I started tremoring.. and they thought I was going to pass out as I also had to lay across seats as I couldnt stay sitting too long). So I suggest whatever you do, if you have faints.. Do not tell them!! cause they wont allow you on the plane then.
But yeah.. getting wheelchair is always best idea (they will then also then carry or trolley your luggage for you as well).
Instead of saying chronic fatigue syndrome.. you could call it by its other term.. chronic fatigue immunity dysfunction syndrome... that sounds a little more serious and more likely to be believed.
OMG. Such a horrible experience. I can't fly anymore. It does something to my veins and my blood pressure.
I don't know what it is. Maybe it was a panic attack? I thought I was going to die.
We should get rid of the fatigue word and call it chronic immune dysfunction syndrome (CIDS).
It sounds right, too!
