I have rheumatoid arithritis & live in Australia. I’m now 60yrs old & was diagnosed 10yrs ago. I have been to bali so many many times cause I’m married to a balinese with no problems. Now I would love to live in bali but I’m afraid I won’t be able to get the meds I can in bali which I need. Has anyone had the same problem & what meds have they been able to get in bali. Thank you

If you don’t speak indonesian or balinese yourself could your partner make a few phone calls, do a bit of searching to see what’s available? RA affects people worldwide so likely to be provision for you.

I have never lived in Bali but whenever I went there ...or anywhere in Indonesia (Djakarta) the health service seemed fine.

If your husband is from there does he know the name of a hospital you can telephone to ask if they have the drugs that you are taking.?

Unless you are taking something very unusual I would imagine they will have them there...but I don’t know how treatment or drugs are funded there...might be worth asking much your drugs would cost.
