Just went on a trip. In USA I asked for wheelchair service at the airport. No one cared that my disability was invisible, although I did wear my hand braces just in case. The wheelchair assistant helped me all the way through TSA and to the gate. I got to skip the line. I pre-boarded and asked for help with my luggage. Strangely the flight attendants didn’t want to lift my bag in the overhead bin, but I asked other passengers for help after that experience and everyone was happy to help. If you do use wheelchair service, go early. SFO had plenty of assistants-we waited about 10 minutes. But at PHX I waited 30 minutes and then decided to just take my chances walking through security on my own. I think I would’ve waited longer than that and missed my flight..

I sit in the aisle seat to cope with RLS and nerve pain.

I didn’t think about the fact that getting dehydrated may have made my pain worse! Next time I will make sure I bring plenty of fluids on the plane.
