@crraining, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am glad to see you comment and connect here with red350.

I want to address your travel concerns and introduce you to @jmpuyallup who has commented about medical grade coolers for medication.

I also found some information you may want to review if you haven’t seen it:
Traveling With Medication: https://travelmedicineadvisor.com/how-to-travel-on-a-plane-with-medicine-that-needs-refrigeration/

You mention feeling good with no pain and more energy attributed to Rilonacept. How long will you need to take it?

Excellent article. Very comprehensive. Worth the effort to keep PMR pain and stiffness at bay.

@jlharsh
Thank you for this information. I have seen much of it before, but not all. My biggest problem is that I cannot use the original packaging, as it will not fit into any of the medical coolers that I can find. I have found one that works perfectly otherwise, but I must carry the original packaging separately. Further, it is not the planes that I am worried about so much as the hotels and buses that I must travel in. Planes have power sources, but buses often do not and hotel refrigerators are not always at the specified temperature range. It's a challenge.

As for the rilonacept, I will be on it for a minimum of 2-3 years, and perhaps for life.
