copaxone travel case

1Moore, I have flown several times with my copaxone. First, call SS and tell them you want one of their travel wallets for the syringes if you don't already have one. It is a hard shelled case that will hold all your things - they even sent me a second autoinjector to keep in the travel case. The letter from the doctor isn't necessary - just take one of the prescription labels off the box and put it in your travel case.

I carried the Copaxone in the zippered case Shared Solutions provides along with the top of the Copaxone box that has the Rx information pasted to it. I had that in an extra carry-on case with my other Rx medications. You don't want to chance freezing or loss by placing it in checked bags. I didn't think about it at the time but I guess the case went through their scanner. The hotel gave me a small sharps container when I asked them if they had any wall mounted units for disposal.

Also, I am taking the medicine with me for about 8 weeks of travel. Anybody would like to share trips as to how to travel with the medicine/customs/etc.? Thanks for everything!!!!

SydB I took for rebif for over 7 years and did a lot of traveling for work. Rebif provided me with a travel case that had a spot for the rx (I cut out from the box with prescribing info) a compartment with an ice pack, and a compartment for the medicine, autoinjector, most the time it went through security without being questioned. The only time it was opened and inspected was on an international flight. Call them and I'm sure they will send you similar.

m getting excited, and a little anxious..... I have been talking to SS nurses, and know how to travel with the Copaxone, but what about all the other drugs. Do I need to take a Sharps container, and how do we dispose of our needles.? I don't know what to do about this..... I know there are people who have travelled, could you please tell me what you did?

But his over all travel time is around 10 hours to visit. Have you check on the copaxone website for the manufactures instructions?

I did speak to the Shared Solutions (SS) person - she seemed almost as puzzled as I am about the best way to handle this. My overactive imagination (aka scatterbrain) has me thinking that I will be stopped at security check and a big scene will ensue (and I shudder at the thought).

Shared Solutions has a travel case for Copaxone. Give them a call to get one. It is very convenient now that the pre-filled syringes can be out of refrigeration for up to 30 days. 3. Be prepared for sharps disposal. Amazon sells small, handy needle cutters that cut and store the needle in a single step after injection. They make syringe disposal easier and safer no matter where you are. Airports often have sharps disposal containers in bathrooms. Some hotels do as well.

I am taking a 6 week break from the Avonex and will be starting Copaxone at the end of April. I actually have two questions: 1) Has anyone taken a break from their medication for that long (and if so, any consequences) and 2) Has anyone switched from Avonex to Copaxone, and if so, how did you do? I still after all these years lose a day on the weekend due to the side effects of the Avonex and am hoping that will not be the result with Copaxone.

For the past year (since long before my diagnosis), my best friend and I have been planning a trip to Spain to do a pilgrimage called the Camino De Santiago, which is a 480 mile walk that takes 30 to 40 days to complete. Thousands upon thousands of people complete the pilgrimage every year, and we are in our mid-30's and have been looking forward to meeting people from around the world and having a great time during the trip. A couple weeks ago, I was diagnosed with RRMS.

Has anyone experience upon travelling to Australia with 10 boxes of Copaxone? Is there some special declaration needed? or is there a limitation on how much you can bring for personal use with you , when planning a longterm stay in Australia?

t read or heard anything linking them to allergy to Copaxone. We do have a member here who recently stopped Copaxone because she started having frequent and longer lasting generalized reactions that got scarry. It doesn't sound like your reactions are allergic in nature or severe enough to mean you should stop taking Copaxone. Of course, only your doctor can really make that decision. Since the arms are harder than other sites to access, it wouldn't hurt to review your technique.

So, needless to say, I feel we SOOOOOO deserve this, and now I have to travel with all my drugs, and the Copaxone... ( any suggestions) .. I know not to let them x-ray it, but anything else that I should know about. I'm so not thinking right now, kinda like I am in space....

Got a call from back home, my grandmother who raised me is in the hospital. I'm 36 weeks 3 days along and I'm scared to travel. Going to be a quick 8hr trip, not really feeling any signs of labor just some contractions on and off. Been going back and forth on wither it's a good idea to go, might be my last time seeing my grandmother...

t take the risk just in case I went into early labour or something,I beginning to get paro now.what do u girls think?

They also send out ice/warm packs, neck wraps, travel kits for your copaxone and they offer nurse training as well. I hope you are able to get through to them and they can offer you all the same benefits that I've been lucky enough to have. Take care and stay strong...

Did they tell you that you had optic neuritis? That was my first flair as far as we know. I've had it 3 or 4 times. I don't remember. I went on prednisone a few times and it worked every times. Lately, for the past few months off and on, I've been having jumpy vision. It gives me pretty bad migraines. I get migraines very easily so I'm on daily meds for that as well. It seems to work well but it doesn't stop the things that trigger my migraines.

Do any of yall know if its safe to travel during your 27th week?? Im a bit scared cuz I get alot of back pain. Right now im 26+3.

hai..cn i know,i'm now 36wks prgncy.. cn i make future travel in my condition now? or it's dangerous for my prgncy n my bby?

so I'm 33 weeks and 4 days. I called my obgyn to ask if I could travel by car but no call back. I'm noy driving, it's a 4 hoyr trip.. so I was wondering do y'all think it's okay??

Is anyone else on Copaxone? I was diagnosed in June, and I started treatment almost three weeks ago. How are you tolerating the treatments?

I'm 23 and I'm starting Copaxone in about 2 weeks. I wanted to get the flu shot too. Is it safe to get the flu shot like tomorrow and then start Copaxone in about 2 weeks?

If you are SPMS, then he may or may not approve Copaxone for treatment. Make sure you have done your homework on the other DMDs in case he suggests something other than Copaxone. I will keep my fingers crossed that tomorrow will be a good day for you!!

She has since told me her other MS patient on Copaxone has had the same issues. In my case I know I was peremenopausal and I think it or the MS sped the process along. It was odd I stopped bleeding with in days of stopping the Copaxone. I did not stop the Copaxone because of it.

This is regarding my previous post about the more aggressive route my neuro may want to take (Novantrone), should he take me off Rebif permanently. I've been considering the alternatives (Copaxone, Tysabri, etc), AND, Ess's suggestion of getting a second opinion. I had the thought that, if I'm going to pursue another opinion, I think I ought to stick with MS specialists. I have dealt with a couple of other good neuros I could contact, but neither deals exclusively with MS.

Hi guys, I am not feeling to chipper these days. My UTI is back, and waiting for the full culture to come to decide what kind of anti-biotics we use this time. I am getting so worn out by all of this. The pain level in my body has doubled and I don't know if it is the e-coli or MS just kicking up it's heals. Got a call yesterday, and the nurses want me to go to the clinic to begin my Avonex injections next week.
