In Reply to: I have MS... posted by alrinmc on Wednesday, 15. September 2010 at 20:28 Bali Time:

i also have ms and have injections every second day plus lots of other medications for a variety of other things. have never had a problem taking all of my medication to bali as long as i have an accompanying letter from my doctor explaining reason for the medication and dose and also advising of the period i will be away from home. my letter also explains that i require to carry my medication (and needles and syringes) as carry on as the temperatures in the luggage hold can become very cold and subsequently damage the medication. you also need to carry all of your medication in the original packaging with the pharmacy label showing your name and dose still attached.
on my last trip overseas i was away from australia for 3 months and flew on 16 different aircraft while away-only one time did any airport security question me regarding my medication or look at my letter from the doctor-bali security have never questioned me regarding my medication but i feel safe in knowing i have covered myself by observing the rules.
