I am off to Bulgaria for 2 weeks on Monday
I am really worried about taking the Crohn's away as I have always managed to holiday whilst leaving it at home:lol:
I asked the consultant who was really flippant about it all with conversation going like this:
Me: Can i go on holiday to Bulgaria ?
Him: I don't know do you have a ticket ?:ybatty:
.................
Me: Am I still alright to go on holiday ?
Him: They have hospitals there don't they ?:ybatty:
.................
My GP was much better and said to pay for the holiday and if things got worse he would write a letter to attempt to get the money back.
However I then see the registrar on Thursday and he said:
Me: I am going to Bulgaria on Monday
Him: Is that a good idea ?:ymad:
Anyway I am going - I have all my drugs, health insurance and also a letter outlining my current status which a friend has translated into Bulgarian. Also a credit card to pay for an emergency return flight if needed!!
Whenever we have gone abroad before i have never been in a flare up so i go off on holiday and take a load pr pred with me "just in case" - I always get loads of diarhoea when away as the Crohn's is not a fan of holidays:smile:
But i am already on 30g of pred.
Fingers crossed for me :smile:
My biggest concern is that we are on a night flight and there is a 1 hour coach transfer at 4am in the morning - well mornings are my major toilet time :depressed:
Anyway the kids are so excited they have been up t 5.30 am every day this week:ybatty: and we are all ready to pack now.
Hopefully the holiday will actually help me to get into remission as i have had a very stresful year and a holiday is just what i need !!
