Solo travelling with chronic illness

So i have solo travelled before and want to continue to do so. I've had a spanner thrown in the works in that I've been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and although treatment is very hit and miss with what works, I am on biologic injections for life now.

The trouble im having now is how do I solo travel for long periods of time whilst being away from home whilst travelling with such temperature sensitive medication?

I have a WHV granted in Australia, it is my 2nd WHV and the plan was to go back to aus after being in UK for a while and then go down the avenue of working my trade that will get me on the skilled visa list but backpack different locations aswell.

This illness makes working my trade very difficult to do here in the UK so I dont think it's something I can stick with, purely health wise, but that's a totally different conversation to be had.

Aus is okay as I can get a 3 month supply in UK and then look into getting a GP there and getting a script sorted but in terms of other possibilities in the future in different locations? It just restricts my life sooo much!! I want to visit soo many different places and I just feel like I've lost that dream.

Has anyone got any guidance or experience in the matter? What helped you come to terms with this restriction?
