TRAVELLING WITH CVID

[john]

Hi,
If you are thinking of making a trip overseas and need some inspiration, take a look at this

www.byrnetravelblog.com

It's written by a fellow CVID patient, Lorna, who is now a good friend.
She and her husband are travelling all round the world in FOUR MONTHS, taking all her sub-cut gear with them.
I'll miss her while she's away, but I'm totally impressed at her sheer will-power and determination to do this.
Lots of good advice in the blog, let me know if you find it stimulating!!

Certainly inspiring John, I remember one person on the old PiA forum who did a similar multiple month travelling holiday (I think they might actually be on here?) with their SCIG stuff and was amazed at the time that they were able to get it all through security etc (its bad enough for me having to carry just subcutaneous cannulas, other needles and insulin vials through!) and infuse successfully in every location (although if I remember they did have an issue in India where a hotel manager thought they were transporting/taking illegal drugs after seeing all the stuff, but he understood after it was explained to him!).

Proves that having a PID doesn't mean you can't travel, or follow your dreams (mostly anyway!).
