Used to be a consultant and fly across the US so a client was taken care of. I don't see an issue with doing the short flights again.

You may want to ask your Nueorogist for Medication. To reduce your anxiety about flying commercially. She helped me with it.

It's dif per person, but I have flown bout 3 or 4 times since my diagnosis of the epilepsy I have, at first maybe a little bit nervous about it, but afterwards I learned a good bit of knowing what my trigs and meds are other things that may be a factor in them,I don't really stress about them that much about anymore like at first, I am not ashamed of the condition I have, if it does happen it happens, I am not going to stop living my life because I have a disability or illness etc, of anyone else that has a condition also, I am not that way, so that is my opinion on the question here, I do my daily routine of prayer and bible study and stand firm doing, I am not perfect and do sin, but I don't worry about stuff like that anymore as for flying and transporting my self getting to where I have to get to, I'll work it out eventually or take the necessary means to get it done.my opinion
