Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Sierra, No, it's not difficult to travel with the injections, I been doing it for about 4 years, when I travel by car I take small cooler, I put ice & I make sure the ice doesn't melt. When I fly I carry the cooler and I put ice packs & Ice and it stays good until I get there. I have no problems at all. I travel 4-5 time a year.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 The first couple of times I had to fly with injectables I was worried that I was going to be stopped by security. Never a problem. I usually keep those ice pack things that the meds come in by mail, stick them in a carrier bag with the meds and it keeps it cool until I get where I need to go, even overseas. They usually last for about 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I don't inject but I have heard others say they also take a prescription and/or a note from their doctor in case someone needs to inspect or questions their gear. At least some of the manufacturers of biologics provide travel kits on request. God bless. ----- Original Message ----- From: lucyoo1@...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Sierra, Just a couple of things to add to what the others have said (that I've found from experience). If you're staying in a hotel, ask for a small refrigerator to be in the room at the time you make a reservation. If you tell them it's for medication they usually won't charge you extra. Also, I've found that an empty plastic soda or water bottle works well as a 'sharps container' while traveling (if you're flying and don't want to bring along a large sharps container). I had trouble with security only once when flying with injectibles - and it was actually before 9/11 and the increased security! Have fun, where ever you are going.
