Hello,
I'm off on holiday for a month next week (woop!). Unfortunately my last dose of rituximab doesn't seem to have done much (or hasn't kicked in yet, if I'm feeling optimistic...) I've been limping for the past few days because of the pain in my knees, I've got a lovely malar rash etc etc. I can't go back on aza because my wcc was knocked out by the cyclo I had with the rituximab, so my only options are steroids and painkillers at the moment.

So - any tips on avoiding getting worse while I'm away (not going isn't an option!). I've got lots of high factor suncream, more steroids than I need just in case, enough painkillers to sink a horse, a hat (but I might get one with spf - any suggestions?), and comprehensive travel insurance. Am I missing anything?

Cheers :hehe:

Hi Fairy,

An entire month off sounds wonderful. Where are you going on holiday?

It sounds like you are pretty set. I'd say a good pair of sunglasses are in order. Definitely get a hat with a wide brim and spf. Also remember to stay hydrated. Don't forget your feet. A sunburnt foot can spoil the day.

Have a great time.
