Additionally, be sure you know the side effects of your prescriptions. Some medications can cause increased sensitivity to the sun. Look over your medications and talk with your doctor about any concerns or questions you have.
Also, remember to maintain communication with friends, family, caregivers and emergency contacts. Keep a list of emergency phone numbers and place them in an easy-to-access area in case needed.
