Thanks to Mary F on this site I have been pointed in the direction of Hughes Syndrome as my existing diagnosis is 'migrainous strokes' and prior to that I'd been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I have have been trying - in vain - to get in touch with my rheumatologist for some clarification about the lupus blood tests he did last year but getting no where. My immediate concern is of course that I may have clots that I'm unaware of and I'm about to get on a flight to France next week! Any thoughts would be helpful. x

Is it safe to fly with Hughes Syndrome? I've had 2 strokes already and I'm on 75mg aspirin daily.

Hi, my favorite flying tip is to get on last! Its not always possible to walk about, so make sure you can wiggle toes to keep circulation going. I recon a short flight is no worse than a long car journey- you won't be at altitude long, but could be immobile for a bit. Aside from stroke/dvt conserns, I like to ware a scarf to burry my head in as half the time AC drafts give me headaches- and you just don't need that paranoia. Also 2 people i know with autoimmune problems always pick up a virus ( I don't) in AC. Have a fun holiday!
