Flying makes me bleed

[emmaibiza]

Hi

Does anyone else bleed whenever they fly? I came back from ibiza yesterday and within 20 mins on the plane I started to bleed very heavy and I'm not due on a period. I was in so much pain on the flight I needed lots of morphine and codeine but it didn't really help. I'm still in lots of pain now and taken as much of my meds as I can. Co codamol, ibuprofen and morphine. I've got naproxen but that seems to slow down the bleeding and make my stomach swell and more painful. When I stop taking it the bleeding comes back full force so I don't take the naproxen now.

Any ideas what would help? I've got hot water bottle. Just doesn't seem normal that flying makes me bleed and in so much pain. I went to Cuba last November and the same thing happened then and also to France in Feb this year and it happened again.

Any advice would be great as don't want to come back from holidays feeling like this all the time.

It's due to the pressure on the plane I have been like it the last few times.. currently on my 3rd day in to my holiday and been sick from pain everyday.. hope you feel better soon x

I've been wondering about this too. It had not happened for a while but recently on a long flight from japan it was awful and I was embarrassed as I was crying in pain. I presumed it was something to do with the air pressure but exactky why that should have an impact on endo I just don't know. x
