Excruciating pain
I'm so glad it's not just me.
EVERY time I fly (but on descent only) I experience excruciating, crippling pain in my head, face, ears, and even down my neck. It feels as if my head is going to explode with the pressure.
The only thing that relieves it is Max strength Sudafed - and lots of it. I start taking it an hour before the plane is due to land. I know this isn't good for me, and I am certainly not suggesting this to anyone else, but believe me I would take anything, in any quantity to get rid of the pain. You have to experience it to believe it.
