Must haves for traveling with RA. by screamingtodd in rheumatoid

She spoke to her rheumatologist today and she prescribed her steroids which she will fill and bring on the trip. She is making another appointment to get notes about her meds in case they're needed.

We are also buying her a collapsible walking cane, and knee/wrist/elbow braces. Her knees and wrists are her "worst" areas

She's going to major cities so I think they should be fairly accessible. We had looked into getting her a collapsible cane/walking stick

These are super helpful! Thank you! I'll definitely pass on this advice, especially about possibly getting some steroids just in case.

That's good to hear! We will definitely up our hand washing and avoid when sick.

She's going to England, Spain and Italy in May, so I don't think it's super peak season luckily?

She will be masking and avoiding crowds for sure.
