Traveling With Lupus Tips

When you have lupus the thought of traveling can be daunting. Between medications, proper rest, and worrying about what to eat, it can seem like traveling just isn't worth the hassle.

Watch the video above to learn how Anna plans for travel with lupus, or read the written summary below.

Get Enough Sleep

When you're excited or nervous about traveling it can make sleep hard to come by. However, getting enough sleep will help you tremendously.

Get Comfortable

Bringing comforts from home, like a blanket, pillow, or other comfy items, can help if and when you need to sleep on your journey.

Wear Loose Clothing

Steer clear of tight clothing when traveling. Space is limited as it is in trains, planes, and cars, so don't constrict yourself even more with skin-tight jeans.

Stay in the Shade

Avoid the sun's rays wherever possible — including in the car.

Get Moving

Avoid blood clots and joint stiffness by getting up and moving around. If you're on a plane or train, walk the aisles. If you're traveling by car, ensure you stop every so often to get out and stretch.
