Can anyone give me some advice

On 20mg prednisolone for pmr and gca. I take pred in morning after breakfast.

We are going to new Zealand from UK to see our family. We fly from Heathrow to LA, 4 hrs there, then onto Auckland.

Not sure about when i take my pred as my body will not know what time it is.

My GP has not given me any advice so i know how helpful and knowledgeable you all are so i decided to turn to you lovely people

    Thankyou everyone for your helpful replies. It will be 07.00 when we arrive in Auckland so I will have something to eat and take the daily pred then.

    We have 2 weeks touring around the south island, then up to the north island to spend 3 weeks with our daughter and family and then 2 weeks slowly making our way back up to Auckland.

    Cant wait to get away from the cold and damp and doctors appointments, really need the break.

    Hopefully my CRP levels will have reduced so that I can pack my running kit!

    Happy christmas to everyone xx
