I suffer from Anaphylaxis and Asthma and always carry my inhalers and adrenaline injector with me at all times however they are bulky and do not fit in pockets of clothes easily and after being thrown out of a club for "possesion of drugs" i wonder is there any thing i can carry to stop being hassled by club bouncers?

as to the second: i carry a prescription from my doctor explaining the epi-pen...i since i started doing that, i have not had an issue with "drug possession."
as for how to carry everything?
i often keep my inhaler in my bra, which only works if you have a big enough chest to hide it...depending on what i am wearing/where i am going, i carry my stuff in an inside jacket pocket of a blazer, a small purse, the back pocket of my jeans (it sticks out) or on a long chain around my neck (on the inside of my shirt-only the chain is visible).
if none of those is viable (not wearing a jacket, no bag, whatever), i sometimes tape the epi-pen to my leg with medical tape-the cloth kind works best. usually, the best place i have found is the inside/front of the lower leg, where the bone is flat, maybe 2" below the knee.
good luck!

My sister has asthma and she now takes advair and singular, and she hasn't had to use or even carry an inhaler in about 3 years. Talk to your doctor to see if any of these medications would help, so you won't have to carry an inhaler around with you. Otherwise, carry medical orders for your injector in your wallet so that they can't possibly throw you out.

Do you wear your medical alert necklace or bracelet?? That along with the name on your ID matching the name on your prescriptions should be enough.
I would contact the management of that club and tell them about what happened. If something happened to you in the club because they did not allow you to bring your meds in, they would be in serious trouble.

i got a sterident tablet tube to put my daughters epi pen in theres room enough for a medical note from the practice nurse or doc to say its prescribed.as for your inhalors ask the chemist to place the insruction label onto the canister so it can be removed from the casement and seen.there are quite a few moulded camera bags for sale now that would house all your items without looking out of place

Carry then in their original, labeled containers AND get a doctor's note. My children's doctor will give you a little card.
You will just have to deal with them being hard to carry, unless you want to carry a fanny pack or other small bag.

Carry something that shows that they are prescribed drugs from a doctor.

Have a look at medicalert they have lots of things e.g bracelets sweatbands,ets,it gives details of your illness in case of emergency,you could show it to bouncers.
Im not too sure what you could carry your supplies in though.
