    Random Dizzyness after a month of walking.

    Unfortunately, when you expose yourself to the wider Camino universe with what you think is a reasonable question, you become vulnerable. Vulnerable to a wide variety of answers of varying worth and vitriol. It has happened to most of us. Just revel in the good and ignore that which you find...

    Best way to deal with plantar fascitis and best shoes to wear

    For chronic foot pain, please consult a professional. However, I have found it helpful to freeze a bottle of water that you can buy in any store. Then place my bare foot on it and roll. You get the benefit of icing and the same action as you would get rolling a ball under your foot.

    I probably won’t do this again

    Ah, I quoted you earlier in this thread without remembering who said it. I'll let you know when my CPAP machine and I are travelling next. :)

    I probably won’t do this again

    A couple of points if I may: I am not sure where you reside but $200 to $800 for a cpap machine seems a little on the light side. Especially if you wish to get the "travelling" type which tends to be more compact and more expensive. As far as the warm moist air is concerned; I travel with the...

    johnlewis47, As a fellow sufferer of PTSD from my 20 odd years; and I do mean odd, as a police officer, I want to reach out to you. Not with guidance but with the knowledge that you are not alone. No one can address directly your thoughts and fears as they are unique to each of us. I have...

    My Husband has Jogger's Nipple

    After the soreness sets in...try some cream designed for diaper rash on babies. Helps the healing process and lubricates the area as well. Added bonus is that you will have a scent waft off of you that will cause those who are parents, to smile fondly at you. ;)
