I'd certainly make sure you get a supply of vicodin before you go, then, just to be sure. It's also worth (I always recommend this) learning Japanese phrases specific to your medical needs, or having something translated and written down that you can show doctors in Japan if the need arises.

yea i feel you on that, plus by the time i go, i should be fluent in japanese, ill still be a little sucky in kanji tho, but if i can speak japanese ill just ask the questions needed, but ill just take meds with me just in case i do get sick, cus weather there and here where i stay (georgia) are completely different, its 84 deg here and its 61 deg there....i usually only get sick if i do, in the winter, quick changes in temperature and trigger it, like going from being warm in the house to being cold if i were to go outside without proper layers..its real inconvenient cus i love winter (mostly for fashion reasons lol jackets and boots) but yea, thas wat it iz...all in all, sickle cell sucks, be glad u dont have it, but im more fortunate than others so i dont let it bother me
