I take a lot of comfort from reading all your posts. Im off to Croatia tomorrow on the back of hubbys motorbike, as weve done fot the last 10 years. However, its the first time since I got this bl..dy RA. To say I'm a bit worried is an understatement! Any tips for potential problems with the heat and methotrexate?

    Wow, good for you. I have no tips to help I'm afraid, but I'm full of admiration. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and the RA behaves.

    I look forward to hearing all about it when you get back. Good luck!

    Make sure you have plenty of rest stops.
    I remember our motorbike holidays. I was young and fit then, but I used to seize up. Mind you, my OH didn't like to stop very often!
    Have a lovely time, and I look forward to hearing all about it when you get back.

    Sounds amazing! Lots of stops so you can stretch a bit, don't forget to take enough medication with you, and enjoy :)

    Hey Elaine you go girl, hope you have an amazing time. We just came back from Cyprus a couple of weeks ago hot hot hot, my little girl is on methotrexate, we just kept her really hydrated and out of the sun at peak times. Must say this is the brownest I've ever seen her I think that's due to being more sensitive to sun cos of methotrexate, we had a heat wave here before we went and noticed she was burning in the sun which she never has before and she's mixed race. However, we invested in p20 suntan lotion a bit more pricey than most lotions but did the trick. And the sun well best form of vitamin d,. Have a fab time luv chrissy xxx
