    users of cpap machines

    Hi there. I am planning to walk the El Camino Frances beginning of June. I can't leave home without my cpap. This is gonna require electricity since batteries are way to heavy. Has anyone else traveled with their cpap? Do the albergues offer beds close to electrical outlets or is this wishful...

    Sleeping in a dorm room where there's someone with a CPAP

    ...and not the medical forum because I'm hoping for responses from folks who have spent the night in a albergue dorm with someone who's using a CPAP machine in the same room. I have sleep apnea, so travel with a CPAP. I'm wondering how intrusive the noise from the CPAP machine to those...

    CPAP Machines and Albergues

    Hi, there. I know this topic has shown up in some threads, but as most of the comments I've seen seem to come from other CPAP users, I'd be interested in hearing from those who aren't. Most likely, I'll get a range of responses, but I'm curious to hear from those who would care to indulge the...

    CPAP users - please read

    Fellow pilgrims If any of you are currently using a CPAP machine and are considering NOT bringing it on the Camino, you may want to reconsider. I've been on a CPAP for almost 3 years now, and last summer I completed my second Camino without my CPAP. This year, however, following my same...

    Does anyone have experience walking the camino (CP/EV) with a cpap machine. This is our first camino. We will be mixing up our accommodation with hotel and alburges along the way. Just wanted to know about the plug situation in the albergues. We usually bring an extension cord when we...

    Use of CPap

    My partner will need to use a CPap machine for sleep apnea. Does anyone have experience with this, and will it be possible to use an electric outlet for it in albergues? Planning to do Porto to Santiago in the Spring of 2018. Thanks in advance.

    CPAP On CP

    Hi All, I currently use a CPAP (a night time breathing machine for those who do not know) and was wondering how difficult finding a plug near a bed will be?

    Was Mick Right?........Was Mick Wrong?

    Those folks with ‘Sleep Apnea’ use them. The machine thing they have to plug in. CPAP wikipedia tells me. They need a plug near their bunk. If they use it presumably they won't 'kick the bucket' during the night. Anyway, our little walking group were first arrivals outside the Albergue at San...

    CPAP machine and plug ins

    I'm reading the threads and don't see a definitive answer to my question. Do most Albergues have plug ins for a CPAP machine for me at night?

    Are the alberques/refugios modern with a/c outlets

    I carried my cpap device along CF and Norte. I don't have a guidebook on Levante yet. Are the alberques or refugios along the Levante modern enough and have power outlets near the beds.
