As most Lyme patients know, traveling is extremely difficult. You have the meds, accessories (wheelchair, cane, shower sleeve, etc.), the frustration of having to ask everyone to help you with just about everything. Then, once you reach your destination you're wiped out and just wanna stay inside. If you decide to travel, here are a few tips:
-Try to plan your vacations on your off weeks of antibiotics...if you are on that schedule
-Get as much rest before the trip as you can
-Let people help you! (So hard to do. But don't steal their opportunity to show love to you)
-Start the packing process a few days before you leave
-Avoid traveling long distances if possible
-Avoid traveling to primitive locations. Let's not catch another disease!
-Simplify your outfits and bring plenty of comfy clothes
-Take as many pictures as you can! The good memories are few and far between during Lyme treatment so savor the good ones...even if you're in pain
I'm speaking as a young married woman with no kids so I'm sure they're are more things to remember when traveling with kids. Please share your insight about how you plan your travels with Lyme and children!
Our Weekend Getaway
Ken (my amazing hubby) and I are blessed to live 5 minutes away from my parents. So when they're gone we take off for a vacation....to Mom and Dad's :) We love taking care of their/dog, Snickers! It's nice to have a change of scenery and to create in Mom's stampin studio! |
