Traveling with Chronic Illness

Dear Readers,

I apologize for the long silence.  I was without internet at home for the month of April and afterward I slacked off because I have been feeling a bit down. But now I am back with a new post about business travel with chronic illness.  I know many of us suffer from chronic illnesses (diabetes, lupus, ESRD, asthma,HIV, long-term chemotherapy), but rather than reduce our travel or ask for desk assignments, I have found that with a few investments in equipment and self care, you can maintain your health and have a successful international career.  In this post, I am going to recommend a few tools for travel and a few ways to carry medications and medical equipment to be sure you always have what you need when you need it.

Essential tools:

blood pressure monitor

blood sugar monitor

portable peritoneal dialysis machine

Ace bandages or sleeves
