Do any of you feel that travel makes your seizures worse? I once had a seizure while on a cruise ship - that was barrels of fun, but I did have the sick bay all to myself. And/or how do you carry your pharmacy of medications with you?

Legal or not I don't carry enough to share or sell. I NEED my meds . I'll set my bars the way I have for the last 40 years. ericthom3

Unfortunately, my seizures are not under control and are still active. No travel for me!

If you’re taking a road trip, I’m not sure if anyone is aware, it is actually a legal offense in the US to carry medication not in the bottle. The bottle is proof of Rx and that it’s yours. If an officer is kind enough to take your word, then no problem. If they choose not to, they can take your medication, or worse. Not trying to scare anyone. Google it to find out if what I’m saying is accurate. I carry my bottles in a zip pouch that can’t be seen through. If you want to take a day off the week container, you can fill it once you get to your destination.
