Alot of us have to go to an infusion site, or hospital to get our DMT's. And we go often enough to keep a bag packed just for that!

What do you keep packed in yours?

I keep water, crocheting/quilting, my tablet, a snack or two, a book, a tablet & pen for taking notes, a pair of spare underwear & and a days worth of my meds in case we can't get home cuz we live 2 hours from any city with a hospital that does infusions, etc. My purse has a few items that I always carry plus my phone.

My infusion center provides snacks and drinks and also has warm blankets. So I just bring my phone and my Kindle to play on. I used to bring my work computer to try to get an hour or two in before the Benadryl made it impossible to focus. I quit my second job so no longer need to do that 😊

When I went, I brought my winter hat and wore pants easy to maneuver with one hand in case they picked a hand for the IV.

Perfect timing that you should ask! I had my Ocrevus infusion yesterday.Because infusion sites will say “snacks”, I learned to ignore that because I’m a Pescatarian/ borderline Vegan. Meaning I eat fish for the omegas(god for MS) otherwise I’d be a vegan 100%.

Back to the bag… I pack water, PB&J on whole wheat, vegan snacks, a change of pants, pads,,meds, and cell phone. I used to bring my crochet stuff but realized yarn and iv tubes don’t get along too well. Besides the Benadryl makes me sleepy. The last thing I need is for my crochet hook to hit the floor and roll under the recliner!

You know it will happen!
