    Hello everyone I am a new user ,

    My name is Matthew Shaw I'm currently 22 years old and I have been dealing with meniere's for 5 to 6 years now, lately I've been pretty good over the past few months.

    However I am from Australia and I would love to travel the world while I'm still able to, so here is the question I've been meaning to ask for a long time. How do you all cope with it overseas I assume it's almost the same as I do just in a different place.

    My main problem is that I can stress easy and being in a completely different place I don't want to freak out soon as I land.

    Any tips would be greatly appreciated,

    cheers,
    Matt

    I forgot to add that I will be doing a lot of research before I go but I wouldn't mind getting some help from a local or two :)

    The more you stress about being stressed, the more stressed you will get.

    Yeah the stress thing is something I've been dealing with, slowly getting better long as I have my medication on me those random attacks don't scare me as much
     
  11. Take me! :)

    Are you going alone to these different places?

    Do you have any travel experience?
     
  15. I have some. Me knowing that I wasn't alone helped me. Having that someone around that knows and understand what you're going through helps.

    Thank you :) yeah it has become a tad easier when your friends and family finally understand, I'm hoping to look around the forums on here and on Facebook to see if I can make a friend and catch up with them when I travel
     

  17. Good! Try to let us know how it's going, if you can. Have the best time ever and I'll be thinking of you.

    Take some GREAT pics! :)

    First time in 12 years that I've been off my meds and don't feel none the worse.
