Guest guest Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 I'd limit fluids right before and during the flight. You can drink more after the flight. Bathroom as close to take off time as you can and wear a one of those bladder pads (like a maxi pad) or diaper during the flight. That way if you need to leak some out you can and it wont smell or have dampness. If you want you could drink cranberry juice or take cranberry pills or liquid after or a few hours before flight to help prevent UTI. Or eat some yogurt.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 I don't need to transfer to actually sit on the toilet in order to use the bathroom. I just need to be placed in front of or next to the toilet. Since getting the Freshette, I never transfer onto a toilet in public (I do at home just to maintain strength and mobility). I know the airline staff won't lift me, but I just need to know if there's a way to get me from the seat to the bathroom and space inside the bathroom that I could be sitting on something and relatively close to the toilet. I cannot walk or stand. I've thought about holding it and this is absolutely impossible. First, it's a four hour car ride from my apartment to the airport I'll be taking, whatever time to wait before the plane comes, a 9 hour plane ride, and a two hour ride from the airport to Luca's house. I suppose I could use the bathrooms at the airport, but I would really still need someone to push me into the stall. (I don't need help actually in the stall, just moving to the toilet.) ~Kendra > Kendra, > Are you able to stand/transfer at all? I ask because i honestly dont think an airline attendant would be willing to do this, as in helping you on/off the toilet, and they may not even be strong enough (especially if its an all female crew)--at least that is my first thought. Its almost like asking a complete strnager off the street to help you pee. Also, I do know the airlplane restrooms arent large enough to accomidate even a small chair (and barely two people), so I dont even know if there is enough room in the restroom to accomidate you and somebody helping you. When I have flow long distances, I made sure I had a layover so I could pee at the airport when switching planes. I think your best option however may be to wear an adullt diaper and not drink at all during that time. or i wonder if you could wear a catheter w/ a leg bag sort of thing/ (nobody could see it). > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Thanks! I'll call the airline and make sure this aisle chair is usable and able to be pushed into the bathrooms. ~Kendra > Kendra, > this could work, as I know they have this thing on all airplanes called an aisle chair (or something like that)...they use it to get disabled passengers to theirs seats since the plane is often too narrow to ride a wheelchair through and not everybody can be carried (make sure to ask though, just to make sure). Also--if you explain your situation, you most likely will be bumped up to a seat closest to the restroom--even if this is first class and you have a coach ticket. they did this with me twice. I would think if you said you can transfer, then if you get a seat on the aisle then they could roll the chair to you and then the to the restroom --all theyd have to do then is roll you--i think not a huge deal and could be done. I would still limit your fluids though, just so you dont have to do this several times. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I have contemplated feeling EMF from planes in the sky, as I live in a flight path of a major airport. I was wandering wether that was why I was waking at approx 5.30 am feeling emf sensations, I guessed it might be the ground scanning radar. As far as the not going on planes again, yes you can but you know as well as I do that you will pay a price in your own special way. I find that I am able to take the massive EMF hit at the airport and on the plane (without mobiles being used on board that is !!!) If you want to travel you will have to weather the storm on this one, its no use pre-empting what the effects may be you have to make that faustian bargain to get to your goal on this one. I am convinced that to live with/adapt to ES (like many disorders) you need to get to the stage of accepting that nothing is perfect, most people who travel will feel like crap for a myriad of reasons, you just have to get through it to achieve your goal, if you really want to that is. You can of course purchase a scanner/meter to show what you are being exposed to on the airplane side of things. best wishes -uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hi all, I was dismayed this morning to notice I am now reacting to the airplanes flying overhead. It is amazing to me that they put out so much EMF to effect me down here. I hope this doesn't get worse. Is this a symptom others have had improve? How would one ever go on a plane or near an airport again?!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 , I think it is the radar they use - air to ground - to keep a record of their height. I've heard this hit against my silver lined cap at times when they go overhead.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 - It is nice to talk to someone with the exact same experience with radio waves. I always had the impression the Europe was more interested in health of people than the US - is there any significant public discussion about the adverse health effects of cell masts at least? I was wondering if my problems might be less if I lived in Europe, but from what I've heard from you I guess that isn't the case. In the US, the only discussion is black/white is there a direct link to cancer, which they will never 'prove' ..

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Adding a thought to this: I took the Rf meter to the parks to measure the three playgrounds in town and went off the path to measure the oak trees.The ambient in the area was .2 With their arching canopies it was nice underneath the trees but as I measured their trunks and branches it seems the trees are absorbing the RF. In our county the trees are dieing. One measured up to 11 u W/cm2 with meter on the limb. The dead sections of the trees were about .5. > Point is, higher is bad. Lower is good.
