I did travel to Europe for 2 weeks while tapering this spring. I was a little concerned, mostly that I would otherwise get sick since flu and other respiratory illnesses were circulating at the time. 1 week was for work and the other for fun so I came across many different people in the 3 countries I visited. Here are some things I did that made me feel better and more prepared. 1) I made sure I was up to date on vaccines. 2) I had bloodwork done and visited my doc a week before traveling to make sure I had a clean bill of health. 3) I had my doc prophylactically prescribe tamiflu and paxlovid just in case I got flu and covid. 4) I timed my tapering so that I was stable on my current dose for 2-3 weeks before leaving and didn’t change my dose while gone. 5) I brought enough prednisone for 3 extra weeks in case something happened. 6) I told my wife the dosage I was taking in case of emergency. 7) I timed my first day dosages in Europe so that I didn’t go more than 24 hrs since taking prednisone the day before. 8) I kept my prednisone on me, not in a checked bag. 9) I took a daytime flight to Europe so I wouldn't be exhausted and lower my immune system. 10) I chose flight seats in the aisle and turned air on as high as it would go to minimize airborne particles from people coughing. I wish you the best of luck. My time out of the country was liberating and reassuring to know I wasn’t tied down by PMR but that I took reasonable precautions to feel good.
