upset/stress/triggers symptoms

[Guest guest]

Hi Judy,

I have been flying since I was a kid, and a few years ago on my way to

Auckland, the plane was hit/flew through lightening. Since I was asleep

at the time, it caused a commmotion in the cabin - everybody woke up

when the captain did his thing... I always have a carry on bag, very

small, with me, in case I get 'stuck' somewhere. Believe me, it is a

very small backpack, since I am not into carrying stuff. An emergency

credit card for these types of 'crises' comes in handy too. (my old girl

scout motto, be prepared!)

By the time we landed in Auckland and I got off the plane I felt ready

for a major sedative, but my guests were there to welcome me, we went

straight to their place, where I showered and slept in total peace for

12 hours. What did me in on that flight was not the lightening, but the

people freaking out and also loosing about 5 hours of sleep I had

planned on.

Stress of anykind will cause my CMT symptoms to surface, in the case

where I get no sleep, I get tremor surges, my #1 CMT complaint. I am so

sorry your daughters had such a rough time of it.
