[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1782217, member: 345386"] Hi Helen - I can't answer your question at all, but I'm wondering if you have discussed your plans with your GP? The reason I ask is I was diagnosed 3 weeks before going off to the tropics for 9 months. Good timing, eh? Anyway, at the time, when I was flapping, in case I needed Meds, my Doc told me he'd be happy to prescribe 3 months supply at once, and if we had any guests coming to see us, I could order up a prescription for someone to collect, fill and bring to me. As it transpired, I managed to do without meds, so didn't have to put it to the test. My GP was more jealous of our adventure than concerned about me being "off grid". Could be worth a chat - even if it cuts down the amount of self sufficiency you'll maybe need to tackle. Meds in the US can be costly, unfortunately. [/QUOTE]
