Check to see if your drugs are on the controlled drugs list for the Country your visiting.. Never ever travel outside your own Coubtry with any medications without taking with you your repeat prescription lost from your Dr and if you have any controlled drugs a simple letter from your Dr confirming you need them and that he/she prescribes them is fine... If you need Insulin yoy need to take ALL of it in your hand luggage onboard the plane do NOT put it in cargo in a suitcase because the suitcase holds drop to temperatures way below freezing and ruin Insulin completely, you just need a Drs letter confirming you need Insulin with you which also allows you to use your Insulin in the cabin without worrying about using needles and getting into a predicament.... Check with your Insurance company that your covered for the Country your going to if you don't already have Travel Insurance look around online for companies who insure Disabled people then compare there pricing carefully and when taking out a policy give FULL disclosure on all health problem you have because if you don't and you need to claim they won't pay out and you'll be in debt....
I am a seasoned traveler Internatuonally so have dealt with this a lot 😊 Hope this helps

@A MyFibroTeam Member I truly feel for you. I really do. I only went to Edinburgh but walked out the house without ALL my meds (I had them made up ready in a bag but left the bag). It was New Year's Eve and so a public holiday as were the next 2 days. Even though I had the official prescription with me, no doctors were available except on emergencies and they didn't class this as one.

I couldn't go back home as there were no trains at all and no-one has a car. I went through withdrawal and it was horrendous.

Needless to say, I will never let it happen again.

The only thing I know is it would be best to get a letter from your GP listing the meds and dose you're on. Especially if you're going long haul. Make sure you have enough of everything to cover you.

Re insurance: to do things properly be totally honest. If there's something that happens to you at home, you need to make sure you're covered for it where you're going.

Your GP surgery can also give advice re meds as they'll be asked those questions all the time.

Have a great time!

Last year we went to Spain amd I just advised the Travel Insurance and they noted it bit no extra costs 😊 I got a brief letter from my Dr and the confirm medications in the letter bo change from my Dr 😊 I then got a friend to translate the letter into Spainsh on the back of Drs letter again no charge 😊 but was a friend so you get charged unless you koow some one? 😌 Then I took all my meds in original boxes and there was even liquids over 100ml bug all were in clear zing bag in hand
Luggage with the prescription slips you get give back by pharmacist too and no problem or issue at all either for all my family 😊 ...

But that was last year so best bet is to check with the airline and airports directly by email and explain the meds issue, and you could take pick of each and attach to email explaining you need them daily and the doeses 😊💜😊 Hope that helps? 😊💜😊 x

Just get a letter from your dr stating the dates of departure and returnnd where too, also the meds you are taking dose and times mine put and what for . The insurance company were informed of all health conditions other wise the insurance is invalid . There are insurances out there for people who have got complex medical needs . I would say get a few quotes , I have several issues that I thought looked so bad ion paper but after ringing around it cost me 80£ but that was for a single trip for one week to Portugal .best of luck keith
