Hi. Have a look at previous related posts to the right of your question on the website. Lots of suggestions and help.

Thanks. I've started going through them but they seem a bit contradictory. I previously had enbrel and that didn't need to be as strictly temperature controlled. And I had a letter from Healthcare at home which covered most scenarios. I've never had any problems with the airports but some people have. I tried ringing lloyds for a new letter but couldn't get through so I may try my rheumatology nurses and ask their advice.

Thank you. I've just found something very similar. It's keeping the exact temperature range that had me concerned at first but I've found some now.

I've only just re started after having to miss several weeks due to low white blood cells so I want to make sure I'm sticking to the correct storage rules.

I could miss the occasional injection with enbrel and not have a flare but I really noticed when I had to miss actemera.

Now to get the amended letter!
