Does anyone else get one right after a flight, every single time?
I swear I cannot take a flight longer than about four hours without feeling that tingle the next morning. I am guessing it is the dry cabin air plus bad sleep plus whatever stress airports do to me, but honestly it feels almost guaranteed at this point. Do you do anything before or during the flight that seems to help, or is it just one of those things you plan around?
Really glad you shared this. What has helped me most is treating it as a prevention question rather than a treatment one. Track your own triggers for a few weeks, get ahead of the risky days, and protect the lip barrier before the sun, wind, or a bad night of sleep can set things off.
Yes, me too, almost like clockwork by the second day after landing. I think the dry cabin air plus the travel stress just wears my lips down, so now I drink way more water on the plane and keep something on my lips the whole flight, and it seems to help most of the time.
Yes, me too, and I always blamed it on being tired from travelling until someone pointed out how dry the cabin air is and how much sun you get through that little window. Now I keep something on my lips the whole flight and drink way more water than I want to, and it has helped more than I expected.
Yes, every single time, and for years I thought I was imagining it until I started keeping track. For me I think it's the combo of no sleep, dry cabin air, and travel stress all hitting at once, so now I try to land already rested and hydrated and it happens a little less often.
