Thanks for this advice I've been wondering about this. I also have been wondering about how one travels in a car with this. With the way I've been feeling lately I'm not sure that I want to skip a dose. I'm suspecting that I will have to take a cooler because I will be gone for a week and 1/2 on a road trip.
If you're traveling by car, they have small coolers that actually plug into your car lighter...You can find 'em at walmart, kmart, etc...We have one and I love that we don't have to keep stopping for ice :o)

In the past, my doctor suggested that it was just easier to skip one or two shots.

Travelign with Enbrel

I am going away on vacation and need to bring one of my Enbrel injections with. Has anyone had a problem at the airport with this? How did you transport it, can you carry it on? I don't have any sort of travel case ... only a lunch bag with an ice pack. Any info would be helpful....I'm leaving Sunday.... nothing like waiting til the last minute :). Thanks in advance.
