Travel plans and an unexpected flare
Posted: Sun Sep 04, 2011 7:27 am
I'm seeking some answers to a particular question and am wondering if you would provide your input.
It hypothetical, but it serves to know what people would do in case this came up for anyone.
The scenario is the following: you were fine, fit and healthy (but you're RRMS and were in remission), then you had a full-blown flare a month ago, and now you're getting better but still have a little weakness and a little balance problems and you are working on correcting that. You have a travel plan scheduled for a week from today which you're wondering whether it would be a good idea to go ahead and travel or cancel your plans. The trip will involve no physical activity as such but will involve some walking.
Do you go ahead, or do you cancel?
Would your decision change if the travel was to an exotic but third-world country?
I'm in this scenario so I'd appreciate your input.
Thanks.
