Just got back from a trip to Kenya Africa and was worried about it all since new to the disease. Contacted airlines for special dietary low salt meals. Worked with outfitters to plan low salt meals etc. I worked with my doctor to come up with a plan for meditation and signs I could look for to head off problems.

Overall I just didn’t want to give in to the disease so I made effort to stay positive. That said I did experience some symptoms but I was ready for them and had a plan. Plus my wife was there to keep me motivated. Haha
Hopes this helps. Johnny
