Just keep in your mind what you have on the other side of your flight. HOME for the holiday's.  Just stay relaxed.  Glad to hear you are going home for Christmas.  What a gift.

  Since u r unsure of the pressure changes, get a product called earplanes, it helps with that....many with Chiari have used them and I have heard good reports...my DD does not have Chiari and will not go on a plane with out them as she has an issue with the pressure......

Good luck on ur flight!!

  Stay positive : )

Thanks...i really dont know how my head can handle the pressure changes.i am hypersensitive to movements and before they diagnosed me chiari on one flight my balance got out of control...it was horrible.i will put ear plugs and take a little tranquilizer...and just hope it ll be alright.before i travelled on my own so much and was never afraid of flying,but now i am so scared ;((

Hey I am 10 mo op and flew at 5mo and yesterday I have never had difficulty with the flight just the seats bring a pillow for neck. I flew to a lower altitude and decreased pressure and feel better than last couple of weeks! It will be ok.
