Medical: Sickle cell disease on a trip?

Going on a trip? Before you go, remember to think about:

While at your destination, it is important that you:

remember to take your meds, even when others tell you to stop taking them
if you are under 12, continue to take your antibiotics (Broxil)
if you are over 12, take antibiotics if prescribed
drink more liquids than normal (2 to 3 liters a day)
prevent infections and wounds: wash your hands, and wear shoes
when you go swimming, always dry yourself immediately after coming out of the water, and put on a bathrobe, if possible. Make sure you do not cool down!
avoid cold and humid environments
As a general rule, you can try to prevent a crisis by staying warm, drinking lots of fluids, and consuming little to no alcohol.
