Does anyone else get one the week they finally take a vacation?

Ha, every single time. My body waits until I've finally stopped stressing and then it's like "oh good, you relaxed, here's your souvenir."

Welcome. The two things worth knowing early: it is very common, and it is far more preventable than most people realise.

Ugh yes, every single time, it's like my body waits until I finally relax to fall apart. I've started prepping the week before a trip now because I just know the stress letdown is coming.

Every single time, I swear my body waits until I finally relax to let one show up, like it was holding on all year just for that. You are definitely not alone, and it helped me a lot to just accept it, pack what I need, and enjoy the trip anyway.

Every single time, I swear my body waits until I finally relax and then decides that's the perfect moment to throw a tingle at me. I've started packing my usual stuff before I even book the flights now, just in case.

Yes, every single time, it is like my body waits until I finally stop being stressed and then decides that is the moment to let go. I got one on day two of my honeymoon and honestly still laugh about how bad the timing was.
