As I am packing getting ready for a five day stay at the Outer Banks, North Carolina, I am going through a check list of all the important things I should carry with me. Some of these items are good to have on you at all times, not just when traveling.
1. ID/Health Insurance Card Emergency
2. Medical ID Wallet Card- (It is free to make and on it you can have a list of your medications)
3. Refill ALL medications and bring the bottles with you
4. Compression socks, sleeves, and hose
5. Small snacks hidden everywhere- (my purse, my carry on, luggage and pool bag)
6.Withings blood pressure monitor- (blood pressure cuff that hooks up to your iphone, ipad, or ipod touch- Something I really need to purchase
7. Resistance bands- (the are small, easy to pack and a way to not get deconditioned)
8. Large refillable bottle water containers

So go explore and experience the world through your heart.
I have really enjoyed reading your blog, and will certainly keep following you on your journey. My roommate and best friend also suffers from EDS and POTS so I understand some of your struggles, we too always have a snack (something salty of course), drink or packets of salt at hand for those occasions when he needs a boost! Keep pushing forward!!
