Hi, My name
is Niall, this is my first post. I have been living with Ankylosing Spondylitis
for the past 10 years now and have been taking Humira for almost 3 years now.
While this has been an absolute wonder drug for me and has transformed my life
completely it has been a real pain trying to keep it cold while on the move.
I was planning to go traveling for a year but due to the fact I need to keep my
medication cool I have decided to put off the trip.
My question is simple, are you my fellow sufferers confined to their countries
because they cannot travel due to the temperature sensitive needs of their
medication!
Does anybody have any good ideas on how to keep Humira or Enbrel cold while
traveling? I dont really trust the cool pack I got from my pharmacist.
I am a college student and this problem area has led me to do one of my final
year projects on developing a device for people like us to carry their meds
around.
I would really appreciate any feedback you could post me back. I also attempted
to create a survey, see link below. If anyone has a few minutes to spare I
would appreciate any attempt you make to fill it out. I probably will put it in
my appendices to back up my findings.

Hope to hear from you all, very soon
Niall
