Does anyone have any recommendations on where to pick up ostomy supplies when traveling?
Is there a breakdown based on city/state?
For example, I hate traveling with deodorant, but I want to be able to pick up a bottle when I land, on my way to the hotel.
Does anyone have any recommendations for:
- Syracuse, NY
- Rutgers, New Jersey
- Hartford, CT
- Washington, DC
-Baltimore, MD
I travel for a week at a time and often need to buy emergency supplies.
does your insurance pay for supplies? do you get a standing order delivered to your home. i use national rehab and they deliver overnight. either bring enough supplies or have a delivery to your hotel
This is a remarkable community of 40,930 members.
You will get real advice from fellow ostomates who truly understand you - things you won't find in the books.
And it's not all about ostomy - there is friendship and relationships too.
Privacy is very important - your profile is not visible to the outside world.

When I found this web site, I didn't think its name had anything to do with actually meeting an ostomate but I later learned there were some folks who did meet and develop relationships. How good is that? That wasn't my intention. I definitely didn't want anyone to meet me. I felt broken and wasn't prepared to express those feelings. I thought it was a place where ostomates wrote about themselves, posed questions, shared thoughts, told jokes and, sometimes, just vented. I thought of it as a community of folks with similar interests and various degrees of experience. Mostly I found some of the most caring, selfless, wise and understanding people I ever imagined. I was so impressed with some of the writings; not because of their literary value but the way in which they addressed such a very complex environment. I read hundreds of exchanges and admired the way folks cared for each other. I became hopeful with my own situation and looked forward to the next day's offerings. Certainly some contributors stood out with their experience or particular skills in addressing some things but it seemed like a total effort with synergistic results. I felt blessed to have found this site. I still do.

Thanks for the National Rehab recommendation. I never thought to ask if they could mail supplies to me when I'm not at home!
