@klmint, I moved your question about flying when living with Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) to this existing discussion:
- Traveling with PMR: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/traveling-with-pmr/

What concerns you about flying?

i don't know if the altitude and pressure changes would affect me. potential of Heart attack stroke increase? potential of an incident affecting other passengers. just starting with a one hr flight to see if ok. my rheumatologist told me not to fly when first diagnosed (Oct/23) but i think ok now as long as he can contact any medical team if something happens when i'm away I just got out of "medical jail" in late April. so basically Can/USA only for now. thx
