Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Wow MO, That must have scared your son to death. You must be glad that they did not lock him up for the night. I hope you have a better year then the way it started.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Get your son a medical alert bracelet or medallion like I wear so that at least he could show it to anyone in similar situation. He should have one anyway if he's taking Isocort so that he would be treated with steroids if he were ever to go to the hospital and didn't have his meds with him. > > My son was brought home at midnight last night in a very large police van (the type they use to transport prisoners from court to prison). > Why? > Because the police were doing a stop and search operation on young people in the area, looking for drugs, and my son had on him (as he was planning to stay overnight at his girlfriend's parents' house) > > a bottle of zinc > loose Vit C in a freezer bag > ditto Isocort. > > My son explained about his adrenals etc. but the police were having none of it.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 This is very scary to think our meds could be confiscated.I was remembering when my daughter was in grade school and I sent come stomach mints for her nausea, and the school called me to come get them.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 This is true and the stop and search targetting of the black community has led to several inner city riots in the not too distant past. I found myself in the middle of one of them, on my way home from an acupuncture treatment, when I lived in Brixton in London, some years ago. Lynda, do you have any info on taking meds through customs as I posted about Danny's imminent trip to South Africa recently? I THINK Isocort is not on prescription but, after last's night's fiasco, I am now truly concerned about him going through Customs. And Dr P may advise AQrmour by then, early Feb, though I suppose he could always hold on that one if it is suggested until he gets back as that is a prescription drug. Did you have any difficulties going to and from your daughter recently. Was is Australia?

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I think you handled your situation well. Thank you Pat for your positive comment. It IS worrying though that had they spotted the h/c and T3 which I order on the internet and had they taken the matter further, I could have ended up in the police station myself. Am I being overly dramatic? I don't know to be honest. I think it is illegal for me to import the h.c and the T3. Maybe I should be grateful. Mo Re: Isocort and the police visit..........

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Oh DOUBLE OMG!!!!!!!!!! I certainly had not gone THERE either Helen. YIKES!!!!!!! What would they have done with poor Blondie who is terrified of men. Men in uniform is the stuff of his nightmares. When the police barged in, I had to ask them if they would mind waiting in the hall with my son so that I could remove Blondie (rescue, trauamatised dog for those who are not familiar) from the sitting room and into the bedroom. Oh they thought this was some kind of ploy.......... and insisted I keep the flat door open so they could see what I was doing......... Oh..............? Yes, I think I should be grateful, it could all? have turned out an awful lot worse. Mo Mo...what a terrible ordeal! Yes, having you in the clink would have not made your day or Blondie's as well.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Mo, Leaving the UK with meds is no problem at all, he should carry them in his hand luggage. I thinks it's unlikely they will show any interest on arriving in South Africa, they would be looking for street drugs if anything and they have sniffer dogs that are trained only to pick up on the smell of illegal drugs.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 The US is the same way. I confirmed this with my state Attorney General before I started ordering years ago. You can ship from other countries into the US on a lot of meds without a prescription up to a 3 month supply. My last order I had to sign something when I picked up the package after they questioned me on what it was (Cytomel) and they had a special thing they did for meds. I was worried for a bit but had my speech all prepared about how legally I can get a 3 month's supply, but then they just had me sign and turn it over. Now, as far as what constitutes a " three month supply " , I imagine that depends on the individual and how much they need in their dosage. Cheri -----Original Message----- Is it?
