Traveling with meds Peg in powder form

[turtle 2]

DougV mentioned in the thread below "Traveling With Meds" that PegIntron is avialible in powder form and doesn't require refidgeration.  This would be great for me.  I keep struggling with keeping the meds at the right temprature while traveling.  The last 3 shots I've taken had been frozen for days.  The Redipen has the medicine in powder form and the liquid doesn't mix with it until the nose of the pen is pushed down allowing the powder and water to mix.  If the powder form of Peg doesn't need to be refridgerated does anyone know why the temprature is so critical with the Reidpen?  Is it the medicine? Or maybe the seals in the Redipen?  I tried to email the "Be in Charge" people with this question but they will not answer the question by email.  They want me to call by phone.  I won't have access to a phone to call the States for a couple of weeks.  Not anwsering emails seems to be standard operating proceedure with the professionals in the HEP business.

I'll do my research on the internet.  Obviously I have access to the internet just no access to telephones.
The book I was refering to was not the book Jashua wrote himself about the trip around the world but the book written by his son about the whole life of Joshua.  His voyage around the world, as remarkable as it was, was just one of many amazing chapters in his life.

I've read the fine print with the Pegintron and it says it should be stored at 36 to 46 deg. F. DO NOT FREEZE.  My medicine has been frozen for days.  How effective will the medicine be if it goes above or below the recomended temps?  I'd hate to be taking this stuff and not have it do any good.  Although right now I don't have any choice but to continue taking what I have.    
The name Turtle 2 came from a line I read in a book about Joshua Slocum (the first man to sail around the world alone).  I changed it up a bit and this is how it came out:

"A man on a boat with an ocean view has all he desires and wants nothing new.
Like the turtle, with his head within it's shell, who told the world to go to hell.  
I enjoy the company of my friends, though the numbers few, but there are times when I prefer to be a turtle too."

Since starting treatment, especially the first weeks, putting my head in a shell is just how I felt.
Writing poetry!!! What's next?  Watching Oprah, Lifetime Television, and going to see chickflicks with my wife and her friends?  No one told me about these side affects!!!!!!
