International Travel with MS
Posted: Sun Aug 29, 2010 10:20 pm
I was recently diagnosed and will begin injection therapy in about 2 weeks. I'll be going to Germany and France with my husband (we live in the US) and I'm nervous about traveling. I know there are good doctors there and obviously they know what MS is - I just don't want to be in a situation where I can't enjoy my trip.
What has anyone else experienced while traveling with MS? I love to travel so this is something I'm going to have to figure out I can't let MS keep me grounded!
Does traveling with oral steroids help in case of a flare up? I know Prednisone pills aren't the same as a solu-medrol drip but maybe it would help. Any trouble traveling with injections (Betaseron)? I've read that as long as you have a doctor's note and the original Rx, you'll be fine going through security/customs.
Thanks in advance for your answers!
