my husband (who was diagnosed with GPA last year and is now in drug induced remission ) and I have booked to travel to Austin towards the end of the year to see our son.
He went into remission quickly and there has been no damage to his lungs. He is on Aza 150 mgs and 2 mgs steroids presently.
What precautions should he take flying? Is a face mask useful? And should he take an emergency supply of antibiotics ?
He has no other illnesses (fingers crossed it continues)
Should we look at a consultant in Austin in case? Any names would be helpful if anyone is treated in this area.
Anything else we need to consider?
Thank you in anticipation .

Hi Mani1234, good l'm glad you both have travel insurance, to many people don't have when they travel. With regards to a Consultant States side, have you contact the Vasculitis UK office as they have an abundance of knowledge and may be able to help you, if not l'm sure they'll know someone who can.
