To make things very, very brief, I'm on a new medication that has made me extremely photosensitive. We're talking more than a few minutes in direct sunlight makes me feel like my skin is burning. I'm planning a trip to the World in November and I am absolutely dreading the long days in the sun, especially places like Epcot and Animal Kingdom where there is a distinct lack of shade in some places. I'm already planning on breaking out the heavy-duty sunblock, wearing a hat and shades and hoping I can figure some way to attach a parasol to my rollator (or maybe just convince my partner to walk beside me holding it over my head
) but I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions on how to minimize sun exposure?
Do you think chemical icepacks would help? I'm considering long sleeves, but I'm also worried about overheating. Since I use the rollator for mobility issues, it's difficult for me to hold/carry things, but I could probably put stuff in the basket.
At this point, weird as it sounds, I'm sort of praying for rain!
