A calmer holiday plan — built around your body

If you live with chronic pain, fatigue, migraine, long-term illness or “invisible” limits, festive travel can feel like a trap. Start with a 3-minute rescue mini-plan (free), then upgrade only if you want the full Fit Check + Snapshot + Starter Kit.

  • Right now: a 3-minute mini-plan with 3 risks, 3 protections, and a recovery-buffer rule.
  • Then, if needed: a full Trip Fit zone (Green/Amber/Red) + one-page Trip Snapshot + reusable checklists.

Planning support only — not medical clearance, diagnosis, or emergency care. Your own clinicians stay in charge of fitness-to-travel decisions.

Created by a seasoned pain physician and former flight doctor.

Who this helps most
Three festive travel scenarios: already booked and panicking, crashing after holidays, and not wanting to ruin it for everyone

The goal is not “push through.” It’s fewer painful surprises and a more honest plan — even if the answer is “not this trip, not like this.”

Enough meds for the full trip + extra buffer
Add “delay days” buffer if flying.
Medication list (names + doses) saved on phone
Also carry a printed copy.
Doctor letter / prescriptions where needed
Especially for controlled meds or injectables.
Pharmacy plan
Nearest pharmacy at destination + hours + backup option.
Comfort + flare rescue

Pack to protect sleep, reduce strain, and shorten flares.

Heat/cold tools you actually use
Heat wraps, portable heat, layers, scarf, etc.
Sleep supports
Earplugs, eye mask, pillow support, white noise.
Mobility supports
Brace, cane, compression, insoles, seat cushion.
Simple flare plan written down
“If X happens, I do Y. If it worsens, I do Z.”
Recovery buffer (the part people forget)

Protect January-you: reduce the post-trip crash.

One gentle day planned after return
No big chores, no social “make-up.”
Easy food plan for first 24–48 hours back
Simple meals or delivery budget.
Laundry / unpacking boundary
“I will do only essentials on day 1.”
A “quiet slot” booked daily on the trip
Short rest window you defend.

What this is – and is not

  • ✅ A calmer way to sense-check your holiday trip with your body in mind.
  • ✅ A way to organise questions for your own clinicians.
  • ❌ Not medical clearance or a dosing guide.
  • ❌ Not a replacement for urgent or emergency care.

“Not this trip, not like this” is a valid outcome. The goal is clearer decisions, not forcing you to travel.
