Refrigerated Medications
If you take medication that has to be refrigerated you can pack a small ice chest with ice packs and put your medication in it. Make sure you pack it good enough, where it wonīt be able to move around. This is a good idea if you have to go on a long car trip.

Packing
Packing a suitcase can be very difficult for a lot of people with arthritis and back problems. Try using an ironing board and adjusting it to a comfortable height and place the suitcase on it and pack from there.

Driving Partner
If you are planning on driving a long distance, consider asking a close friend or family member to go with you. That way if you get tired or start hurting you can take a break and let the other person drive for a while.

Seating
Make reservations early so you can request seats that are more comfortable to you. I suggest you request a seat on the exit row or just behind the bulkhead. These seats allow you more room to stretch.

Visiting Your Doctor
Before going on a long trip, you might want to consider going in to your arthritis doctor for a check-up. This will make sure that you are doing well and also give you a chance to ask the doctor any questions you might have and also be a good time to get prescriptions for the medications you will need before you leave.

Big Airports
If your arthritis is very bad, you might want to call the airport ahead of time and request that they have a wheelchair or motorized cart waiting for you when you get there. This will help you not have to walk a lot, since we all know how big airports are.

Jet Lag
Try to not book an airplane trip where you have to return in the same day. Allow an extra day in between to help you recover from jet lag and where you can get enough rest.

Carry On Bag
When going on an airplane it would be a safe idea to make sure you have all your medications in your carry on bag. This way you will have it in case you get delayed or if the rest of your luggage gets lost.
