But to carry those with me, I had a letter from my doctor as well as I had to carry my medical records with me so security could check it out. Plus the crew on the plane were told of it by security so there wouldn't be any trouble on the plane when/if I had to access my meds.

Basically, the doctor had to give me a letter giving me medical permission to fly in the first place. Oh joy.
Oh boy. *whimper*

Ali, do you carry any medications in seven-day pill boxes? That's what I do. I just spoke to the airlines, and they suggested that I have my pill bottles with me when I go through security. And I have my medical information on my medical ID chain and on a sheet of paper provided by the people who supplied me the medical ID chain.

Gosh, I just really wonder why didn't the no-gooders like those 09/11 terrorists would do their stuff on another planet!?
