How to Travel with a Chronic Illness

In this week’s episode of Calling in Sick, I share my how-to guide on navigating travel with a chronic illness. Travel is supposed to be a relaxing and enjoyable break from “real life,” but when you’re dealing with a chronic illness, it can be incredibly overwhelming. From anxiety about how “able” you are, to internalized pressure on having the “perfect” get away, and realizing the impact of brain fog on planning… you are not alone in these worries! Not to forget the mental gymnastics of battling guilt for being stressed! If you want your next trip to go a bit smoother, look no further! Tune in to this week’s episode to hear what you need to pack in your suitcase versus your carry on and my top 5 most important things to travel with. You’ll leave this episode feeling more prepared and less anxious for your next trip. And as always, thanks for joining me for another Monday of Calling in Sick! xx, Alex Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Calling In Sick! 00:01:02 Alex’s Health Update 00:04:45 Alex’s Wellness Picks of the Week 00:09:00 Traveling with a Chronic Illness is stressful 00:15:15 How to pack for your trip 00:34:30 How to enjoy your trip 00:40:15 How to manage anxiety while traveling 00:45:45 How to manage if you over do it 00:47:10 Thank you for listening!
