    Spain at 22.00 (10pm) last night...

    Look a little deeper - I am sure that there are random acts of kindness happening quietly all over your country as in ours (Canada). There is basic goodness in all of us, for just such times as this.

    Severe joint and muscle pain post Camino Frances

    VNwalking, I thank you too; any broadening of my knowledge in these areas gives me confidence to continue to justify advocating further examination/analysis of symptoms toward my diagnosis. To date RA in my hands, wrists & fingers points as a symptom to overlapping muscle challenges, so far...

    Severe joint and muscle pain post Camino Frances

    Hi Anacortes John ☺ We join 4-5 other families each year camping at Deception Pass Stare Park. I love your neck of the woods, including all the great 'locals'. Many thanks for sharing this info. I am adding it to my growing 'health ' file. None of this group of diseases are great but diagnosis...

    Severe joint and muscle pain post Camino Frances

    Severe joint and muscle pain post Camino Frances

    O my goodness, Mike, you could be speaking about me right now! I walked Camino Francis 30 days, May June this year. Just before departure my thigh muscles were feeling tight especially when I tried to stretch in bed and I had about 5 inch strip across my back that felt sensitive. Nothing...

    What is in the essential first aid kit

    Regular Vasoline...I pack it in from home and find that it conditions the skin of my feet and must accommodate some of the friction going on during a long walk. Three Caminos; 1 blister 2 weird nails total.

    What is in the essential first aid kit

    After 3 Caminos I can honestly say mine is truly a BASIC first aid kit; a few anti-inflammatory pills, a roll of paper tape, 10 grams of lambs wool ( available from Camino Marketplace) and a roll of gauze & iodine to share with pilgrims that haven't brought wool ;). That's it.

    contact lenses on the camino?

    No problem for me at all. I even replenished my solution 1/2 way along the Francis at a Farmacia. I brought along 1 extra case and a pack of 6 replacement lenses. sandi, Shades of Narnia
