Bring your prescription, PLUS a note from your rheumatologist saying that you have ....... and are on Enbrel and have been on Enbrel since ..... (Fill in the gaps). Sign in with a GP - any GP will do. THEN will have to get referred to a rheumatologist in order to get a repeat prescription made up for you.
IF in Paris, go to the CHU Cochin, Prof Dougados hangs out there. He is international figure, he will sort a prescription. BUT will have to be referred...he speaks v. good English.
IF Brest, go see Prof Alan Saraux - speaks good English. Or for Rennes, Prof Alith Perdriger - she does not speak much English and it is diff to get an appointment, booked up.
BTW - you can make the appointments *before coming over. Then will just have to sign up with a GP.
The French have tightened up - and they *love paperwork <lol>
Meantime, bring sufficient Enbrel over with you to last several weeks, at least a couple of months. Can keep well cold in a flask filled with ice (be prepared for the airlines to be funny on this one !) or, any pharmacy will have cold bags - diabetics have to carry their insulin in cold bags.
Have fun in France -
