So, I was cleaning my pocketbook because we are traveling for the holidays and I want to make sure it is stocked and ready to go. <br>CF related things in my purse: albuterol inhaler, Purell, handiwipes, Tums, sodium bicarb tablets, of course enzymes, cell phone, wallet, peppermint candies for car sickness.<br>What are your essentials for trips away from home?

There are enzymes in every purse and pocket I own, I think. Purell exists in little bottles in many places as well. I have several games on my phone for keeping a kiddo occupied during a treatment when we aren't home (I try to bring my ipad with me when possible for that purpose too). And, of course, in my purse is all our medical information, insurance cards, etc. More than once I've had to have an emergency prescription filled or hit a urgent care.

Hand wipes, enzymes, hand sanitizer, insurance cards, phone #s for clinic, juice or water in case DS decides to eat something requiring enzymes, snacks 'cuz he'll always request one when I don't have any and packets of salt. Especially in the summer he likes taking hits of salt.

I always, always half empty enzyme shell pills. If I ever commit a crime they will be able to track my steps with enzyme casings<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I always have purel & wet ones. Plastic or metal spoon. Then of course a few diapers/wipes for my daughter. Gave up on carrying a diaper bag<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

I have a confession: I'm most assuredly a man & I carry a purse. I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Of course, my 'purse' looks more like something you'd find at an Army Surplus store but it IS a purse.
As a transplant/CF patient I'm a 'Hard Keeper'.
I have enough supplies to get me by for a 48 hr period. If I get stuck somewhere I don't mind. I carry 2 days worth of anti-rejection meds, enzymes, inhalers and all the rest.
Being diabetic I carry my 'kit' in there as well; along with candy to bring blood sugar up if I get too low.
I believe anyone that has the same condition(s) that I do should be as prepared.
Ulitmately, YOU are in charge of your own well-being.

The only thing I would add is a list of all the medications your child is taking. You probably won't ever need it, but in case of an emergency, it would be a good thing to have.</end quote>
That's important to have! I have that in my purse too. I have a list typed and saved on my computer so if anything changes then all I need to do is delete/change/add and print. Then save again. It's easier and faster than writing a whole new list if you have to for some reason. The only info I list is the medication name, dose, and how often I take it. For me, this is not only good for emergencies but all my doctors appointments as well. They always go through the entire list every time. Though, I should have it memorized by now, ya think? lol
Other than that, I'm pretty much on the same page as everyone else. Purrell, enzymes, anti-rejection meds, tylenol, blood sugar kit, emergency glucagon kit, nasty glucose tabs for low blood sugar, (I have no room for snacks & juices with all the other stuff women need in their purses besides "cf" stuff lol) I get arm and back cramps just from carrying an oversized purse. Or should I say BAG <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">
One thing to add that no one else has listed yet. Hearing aid batteries for when the batteries die in my cochlear implants. Sometimes I don't mind if they shut off anyways though <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
