I like to portion out my medication in the 7day strips — I do the same for the dogs and that way I know if I have taken (or given) the meds for the day. On trips, I like to use the pouches from EzDose. The strips come open in your luggage, at least mine do, and taping them is a pain. However, that is not exactly legal, you’re supposed to have the original labels. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On the other hand, I don’t want to carry the 90 day bottles. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I wish Medco would just send out extra labels like Caremark did when we used them, but no going.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So here’s my compromise. Medco sent me extra 90 bottles for most of my meds. The ones they didn’t send, I already had two bottles of, so just dumped the meds out of one bottle into another. Yeah, lots are mixed now, but shouldn’t be a huge deal.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, that’s a lot of bottles to carry but I’ve got the pouches in a 1 guart ziploc bag, and then the 90 bottles and that bag in a 1 gallon ziploc bag. It fits in the large outside pocket of my carryon fine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I also realized I hadn’t packed pen needles, so added a box to my checked baggage back. It’s easier to deal with the unopened box, then it is with partial. I still have two vials to use on the Symlin so am not thinking pen needles. I also need to toss in a couple of bags of syringes for just in case, though I have a feeling in a true emeregency they would have some.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So far I have the following packed:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My next on the list is exercise wear. I want to take two sets of exercise wear. I also want to put in a laundry bag to put my used clothing in. I believe I have a collapsible one (or two), that will fit in my checked luggage. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So my plan is to have in my carryon: medication, one complete full outfit, which I will wear on the way back, extra pump, extra pump supplies in bag, and CPAP machine. I’ll have my travel papers and regular medications in my "purse".<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Everything else will go in the checked bag.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And I have less than two weeks to go on the trip. In fact, two weeks from today I’ll be in Mexico. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
