So one should bring over a copy of his/her medical chart focusing on the medications one take or just some chart in general? Should it have the technical name? Does anyone know where I can even look up the names of my medications, and what their equivalents would be in Japanese to save up on the trouble?

I'm looking over the form for the Yakkan Shoumei and how it has to be mailed in. It mentioned the "post" and how one of the things needed when submitting for one is a Return Envelope with Japanese Postal Stamps.

Does anyone know if it's acceptable to use something faster like UPS or FedEx? I wanted to overnight this using that since I know it'll take at least a week for them to send it back. I also wanted to do that since I won't be able to send out anything until tomorrow afternoon since that was the earliest I could see an actual doctor and I already told them of my situation and they were cool with it.

I'm supposed to leave March 28, I'm scared I might not get the Yakkan Shoumei back in time. Does anyone know what happens if this is the case? Can medication just get shipped over or is there a rule or law to doing something like that?

So, when one does get the Yakkan Shoumei back, and then head over, I just show it to customs when going through my baggage?

I wanted to bring at least a 6-month supply of my medications with me since I'm not sure when the insurance will start up right away.
