How do you prepare for travel?

Now that it's summer time, it's also vacation time for a lot of people. I myself just cam back from a mini trip. So I was just wondering for everyone else other than the obvious medication prep, what are somewhere things other people do when preparing for a trip, especially when flying? Also, has flying ever affected your MG?

  1. Getting ready for gator nationals and a memorial one after the other . Taking medicine to keep symptoms down and energy up. Will see Dr just before I go

    1. I pack over a week before, taking my time and also writing a list. Hopefully this way I dont forget anything. Medication wise rather than taking boxes of everything (as mine don't need the fridge) I pre-pack into a one or two week supply of daily doses with morning, lunch, evening and night, plus extra just in case. Also umbrella to protect you from strong sun and rain if needed. And sleeping neck collar or pillow for airplane/transport to help with the comfort whilst sleeping. Oh and if going on flight longer than three hours I always where travel stockings as I am not very mobile and then take my shoes off, helps prevent the wonderful ankle swelling post flight.
