A strong odor on the plane once we took off (all the way from the back to the front of the aircraft). My eyes were burning at the beginning. After the first service in the main cabin; once I got to the back galley; I started to feel lightheaded and difficulty breathing. I sat down on the jumpseat because I was dizzy. Few seconds later; my hands started tingling badly and the color of both of my hands turned grey/blue. Immediately; the flight attendants gave me oxygen and I was sitting with it for almost an hour. The color came back to my hands and I felt a little better. I was very tired and couldn't keep my eyes open. I felt fatigue. We called a Commercial Medical Service since we had no Dr. onboard. My throat is burning till now. Hoping the company will; finally; fix this 'fumes' problem. I have a hospital report.
An A330 Flight Attendant reported fumes after takeoff and during cruise which made her ill and required oxygen. The flight diverted after consulting with a Commercial Medical Service.
