Photo by Element5 Digital on Unsplash Summer to me is about making new memories, soaking in the sunshine and longer days, while visiting new places. This summer my husband and I are taking a road trip North to Nebraska…a long 9+ hour road trip is in my future. While I am extremely excited to visit a new state or two, I am not very excited about the hours spent sitting in my Tucson. Today’s podcast will help you better plan and prepare for traveling if you have Lymphedema or are traveling with someone who has Lymphedema. Flying causes a unique type of fear when travelling due to the pressure change. Road trips even short two or three hour drives can cause some anxiety about increase swelling and tightness. Often people won’t even consider travel due to the headache they are trying to avoid. It doesn’t have to be miserable to travel. All the advice given can be applied to either form of travel, planes, trains, automobile or cruise ship but I broke down each form of travel for specific tips. I hope you enjoy this episode.
