Just thought I would share what my epileptologist did for me this morning. You may have caught my post about my travels a while back. Well I got scripts for all my meds. Of course the insurance fights getting the meds refilled, so you have to deal with that... but depending on your insurance you can get what's called a vacation override and it will allow you to get a refill of medications before a certain time limit has elapsed. It all depends on your insurance so you have to check.
Anyway, the more important thing was, my doctor gave me a prescription for clonazepam. So if I go into status epilepticus during my trip I have emergency medication to try. This is extremely important because we will be in the remote Peruvian Amazon and it will be hours to the nearest hospital, and even there they will have limited resources.
It's good to know I have backup medication just in case. :clap:
So if you're going on a trip like this, maybe a cruise, or a trip to Africa or something, consider seeing your doctor and getting some emergency medication, it can't hurt. :twocents: :woot:
