Has anybody experienced this whilst flying, the last twice i have flown i find it hard to swallow, i haven't had this symptom since before i had the thymectomy. Once i have landed its ok?.

Hi Karen Now you've worried me, am flying to US on Friday. However since diagnosis I have flown to Poland and didn't appear to have any adverse effects, so hopeful for this trip. Will let you know when I return Derek

Its nowhere as near as severe as before the op, i.e liquid down nose ect, its more of a feeling of my throat been tighter when i swallow, i ate the in flight meal ok, so dont let it worry you, i just wondered if anybody else had this feeling, it could be down to nerves as i do feel a little claustrophobic when flying, also we had a delay due to our bags not going with us, (so on another subject take a few items of clothes in hand luggage, ours didnt arrive until the next evening).
Hope you have a lovely time, sorry if i have worried you.
ps... very jealous i love America

Thanks Karen Okay on the clothes front as going to visit friends in new jersey. Sounds like the effect of stress rather than pure flying, find when I get stressed I have difficulty with my swallow etc. Don't mind flying, wouldn't take me to as my first career was building them Derek

Hi Well I've returned from US and no problems with flying at all, other than the boredom!!!! Did have problem with heat, one day was in high nineties and after being dragged round outdoor mall was very fatigued and a little giddy but a few minutes rest and a mestinon (was just about due one) and I was fine.

Happy to report that I experienced no problems of any kind during flights. Managed two weeks in Spain in 28degrees heat, had no problems at all, didn't even get bitten as everyone else did, have returned home relaxed and happy to have survived with no mishaps.
