I suffer from chronic CH and have been for the past 7+ years. I use oxygen for relief. No pain meds have worked for my yet. I have to fly out of town for work and scared of not having Oxygen...any suggestions (besides quiting)?

They should have O2 on the plane I would think...might take some prior arranging.

I asked Jonny that once because I had to fly and was scared of getting hit with a CH. He told me that you can let the airlines know and pay a fee of I think he said 45 bucks or so. You have to pay it even if you don't use the O2 but it may be worth it for peace of mind...just in case...
You can ask him...in case I have the info wrong but I am pretty sure that's what he said.
Good luck...hopefully you won't need the O2!

K is right ;D
Call the airline ahead of time, depending on the airline it will be $50-$75 last I heard. with all the terror crap going on now they just might want to see a script but im not positive about that.
Good luck
