Taking Nplate but want to travel HELP!

Taking Nplate but want to travel HELP! was created by gkilianek
Hello Everyone!
My question is sort of long...
I am currently taking Nplate and living in Illinois. I have medicare and medicaid for insurance and I am so thankful for it but I have found it hard to travel. Actually this is the first time in over 2 years that I am feeling well enough/confident in my numbers to travel for longer than a week.
I know that Nplate has recently passed new rules supposedly making it easier to access but when it comes to travel out of states does anybody know who I need to contact? I already asked my Hema Doctor and he said maybe I will be able to give my self the injections but I have not found out who I need to contact to get this process started... If you have any advice or tips or guidance it is greatly appreciated :0)

Yes. Through My Nplate® Center, you can receive assistance in locating a physician who can give you your Nplate® injection while you’re away from home.

I've been wondering about this as well - please let me know what you find out! I was supposed to be in Spain this summer for a competitive internship, but my recent diagnosis of ITP put a bullet in those plans very quickly... I'm currently looking for some sort of a short trip to ease my disappointment.

Gkilianek-

You asked a question, then answered it! Pretty cool.

I, fortunately, can go 2 weeks between Nplate injections if my count is over 100,000, but I am for sure going to check into this "My Nplate" thing.
