    AGE is better than the alternative.

    Rosacea on a Summer Camino?

    Maybe I should just move to the Camino!

    Rosacea on a Summer Camino?

    Just started it. Takes weeks to work if it does at all. Supposed to be stored under 25 degrees. That might be difficult in Spain.

    Rosacea on a Summer Camino?

    I've just been diagnosed with Rosacea and am planning a Summer Camino in 2016. Now I'm wondering whether this is a good idea because of the heat and possible flare in symptoms. Have others with this problem walked in Summer?

    Leg Heat Rash - Golfer's Vasculitis and socks

    Wow. Weird how this thread is going. I wear compression SLEEVES to prevent shin splints. My question was whether they would exacerbate vasculitis due to overheating. Compression SOCKS/HOSE are used to facilitate vascular return (to the heart), although I suppose they could help shin splints...

My problem is that I am wearing compression sleeves for shin splints and a stretchy knee brace for a dodgy knee during my training for walking in 2016 and now am fearful that I may have problems...

    How can I avoid blisters!!!???

    I would stay away from the fence wool. I spin and if you have ever cleaned a sheep's raw fleece you would NEVER think of putting it near your irritated skin! Sheep lay down in fields of poo after all. Rather, just go to a fiber store and purchase clean, carded roving, preferably merino...

    Achilles Tendon

    Let's see now. I will be wearing a right knee brace, bilateral compression hose for shin splints, a knee band on the other side, orthotics, and an ankle brace for my overstretched achilles tendon. I must take time to remove my shoes and socks every couple of hours, douse my feet in ice water...
