About this Publication
Addison's Disease Self Help Group newsletter, issue 85, September 2006
Welcome to the autumn newsletter for the ADSHG. We hope you all enjoyed a relaxing summer holiday. Some of our members are great travellers, as you will see from the travel insurance tips on page 10 of this issue. You were no doubt aware of the heightened security and more stringent bag searches at UK airports this summer. It is still important to carry your medication and injection kit with you on the plane rather than check them as hold baggage (as specified in the Managing Addison’s leaflet you received with your June newsletter).
