A chronic illness can change your life. It can bring a lot of baggage into your life. In order to survive a long busy day, you may need medication, or an ice bag for your joints. Traveling with a chronic illness can be extremely arduous; because you don’t want to forget anything you may be in dire need of. Here are ideas of what to pack in your bag when you travel with a chronic illness.

  • All of your medication.
  • A pillow and blanket.
  • Drinks in a cooler. *Lots of water.*
  • If available/needed compression socks/stockings.
  • Chapstick.
  • Biofreeze.
  • Clothes.
  • Ginger ale (in case you get car sick/ nauseous).
  • Snacks.
  • List of medications (in case you don’t memorize the order/times of your medications).
  • Phone and charger.
  • Essential oils. (I bring my essential oil bracelet with me when I travel.)
  • A book/kindle/word search/ magazine.
