Medications on the road

Hi everyone. I am going to school very soon and I am very excited about my new career. Only thing I have been waiting on is I am switching medications for my Chrons Disease and make sure that is all in order before I go on the road. With the medication the symptoms of my disease is very minimal so I am not really worried about that and the medication is not on the dot list. So I am going to be taking Humira and a couple issues I am wondering if anyone has had to deal with with medications. So how it works is they ship me 4-6 weeks worth of medication. So I will have enough to go on the road for a month or so then have to take home time and come pickup another month or so worth of it. If I inform my company of how urgent it is that I get home a certain week how reliable should I expect that to be? A couple days late or early shouldn't be a big issue as long as it's within the week that they deliver it and the week that I am out. Another thing they told me is worst case they can deliever it anywhere and just need two days notice. So worst case could I take my home time on the road and sit at a truckstop for 3 days for them to deliver it? I wouldn't want to do that but I would worst case. It also has to be refridgerated which when I get my own truck I don't think it should be an issue I just hope my trainer has one or I will have to request one with a fridge. Just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with this or if I am getting to worried over nothing. Thanks for taking the time reading this I look forward to hearing the responses. Can't wait to get on the road!

Yeah I am going to try and get the biggest supply I can. The normal is 4 weeks so I am going to talk with them this week and see if I can get a 6 or 8 week supply. Though it's up to the insurance company so well see how it goes. I try to eat as healthy as I can most of the time but sometimes I am not to good at that lol. As long as I take my medication and it is under control which the past 5 years it has been for the most part then I am fine. Didn't know about the heart healthy truck stop thing I will keep my eye out for that thanks! I didn't think about the company terminal that is a good idea too worst case.

 

I think I have to go with a real fridge. I was talking to my Nurse for humira about it and she said that a cooler might not work because it has to be between 36-46 degrees. Those are usually a little hotter than that aren't they?

 

Interesting I will keep this in mind! In my case it's injection pens so I shouldn't have to worry about that but it is good to know.
