Travel & C.f, need advice!!

hey everybody, this is my first time on this site & everybody seems really helpfull!! i need some advice! im 22years old & am from ireland, im off to ausrtralia for a year in january, im going to be travelling a lot &going to a few different countries! im just wondering has anybody done this before cause im just curious to know wat will happen if i need an i.v over there i.e payment of drugs etc! im also wondering has anyone had any hassle getting through airports with their drugs (i will have letters from doctor!) but security has gotten so tight everywhere im a bit worried about it!! any advice/stories that anyone could give would really really be appreciated!! thanx, kerry girl x

We have traveled throughout Europe and North America with our son who has c.f. The biggest issue we have had is that his meds and equipment have to have their own suitcase

We have a "Letter of Medical Necessity" which explains c.f. and lists the medications and equipment necessary. Our travel insurance includes health insurance. I would be somewhat concerned about appropriate medical care if I were traveling in a country where c.f. is uncommon, but I wouldn't worry about Australia.

We have never had any problems with security or customs.

If you feel well enough to travel, and have cleared the medical/medication issues with your physician, GO FOR IT!
