I'm going on holiday in June and no matter what I try or think of as soon as the day approaches that I'm getting on a plane my stomach gets nervous and I spend hours in and out the toilet,not sure what I'm scared of but I build my stress levels up to a point I get to destination feeling like death warmed up x

Hi Lynne.

If you have a word with your doctor he may give you some Diazapam to take before you board the plane or you could try listening to music or even a talking book just to distract you.

Have you been to GP? Mine perscribed me diazepam as I am not great with flying. Took a couple ad relaxed and seemed to be ok. Travelling is very stressful so can completely understand nervous tummy etc! Where abouts are you going? Sure you will have a lovely time :) x

I'm going to Crete June and July,as much as I make myself physically ill I always get on the plane,il see what my doctor recommends.my biggest fear is turbulence as soon as it starts doesn't matter what I'm doing I just get more worked up by it all and start feeling like I'm going to die,sounds stupid and I feel daft at 39 being scared x

hi lynne, completely agree with previous comments, diazepam is great to relax you for a flight, it will surprise you how many are prescribed for this alone, turbulence is completely natural for planes , they are built to withstand much greater amounts than you will ever feel, so enjoy your hols, love jasper xx
