Travelers with health concerns often have to pack around substantial amounts of medication.  Medication should not be packed into your checked luggage, but should be placed in your carry on. Because you need to keep medication in their original containers, it can sometimes take up lots of room when you have to tote around a lot of meds.

Magellan’s Travel Medicine Case will allow you to pack all your medications, vitamins and medical supplies, in one place, keeping everything handy and available for security clearance.

The frame of the bag is structured, so everything is protected and stays in place.  There are three movable dividers to keep everything organized, and a spot for a cold pack if you need to keep medications refrigerated.  A zip-out vinyl pouch allows you to separate small items, or to divide up medications for a short day trip, and a separate zippered pocket is perfect if you need to carry syringes.

When you need to open the bag it zips completely around to open, and lays flat, making it easy for you to get into, as well as to display the contents should you need to when going through security.  All your meds are securely packed away, organized and safe, and handy to get to when you need them.

Don’t let health issues, and the need to travel with substantial amount of medications, keep you from enjoying travel.  Carrying your meds in a dedicated case is one of the products that can help make your trip a little easier.

Doesn’t it seem that when something is bothering us, we think we’re the only person on the planet experiencing whatever that hurdle is?

Weight gain, career issues, family issues (I KNOW my family is weirder than yours)…kids, husband, house…whatever it may be — we believe we are all alone.

And sometimes it’s not really a hurdle, as much as it is a character trait:

I like to pretend I’m a Broadway dancer, play the soundtrack from A Chorus Line and dance around my office.

I’ve never told anyone that small little tid bit, because like so many of us, I’m afraid of being judged or ridiculed — plus who would I tell?

Truth be told, since I left the traditional work place to start The Pet Set, I have less true friends.

Recently, I experienced a blip my personal health screen, which had me worrying for days.

Keeping everything to myself, I reviewed my entire family’s health history and decided that I probably have 2 years to live.

(I’m exhausted just thinking about my crazy thought process.)

Then one day, I decided to have a chat with a friend of mine, who with sensitivity and wisdom, blurted out:

EVERY WOMAN I KNOW is going through what you are describing:->

This does not discount the need for me to get checked out…but boy I sure don’t feel as hopeless or lame.
