Would the doctor give you a high dose of prednisone to take with you? check your Sed rate before you go. You should be able to get a blood test at an emergency clinic somewhere on the cruise to check it again. Just a thought…

I have another autoimmune eye condition that potentially can cause vision loss. I take Actemra but my ophthalmologist says Actemra isn't "optimal" for the condition I have. My ophthalmologist thinks it is only a matter of time before my condition flares again. I always take prednisone with me when I travel "just in case" the need arises.
