    CPAP users: how do you bring your machine with you?

    Masks might be required by law in Hospitals and health centers next week

    I was in PARIS last week and drove home. Metro and RER..people were coughing and guess what? Returned home and the kleenex companies are making a fortune just with me. Inhalations and tiger balm will certainly turn that around. In TOULOUSE yesterday, the people coughing and sneezing in the...

    My first Camino Frances after the apnea diagnosis

    You will need a 220/110 adapter generally that come with most machines . Don’t forget the electrical plugs for French and Spanish outlets, usually the same.

    Leg, foot rashes: Purpura (?)

    Just completed a 35 km hike yesterday. The rash on the legs have disappeared but on the feet were still present.

    Leg, foot rashes: Purpura (?)

    i will be walking/ hiking 34 km tomorrow and on Thursday. We will see whether this returns. Anything preventing me from starting the second part of the Camino makes me nervous. When hiking from Toulouse to Pamplona, these rashes were never there.

    I am no doctor but have experienced that due to the usage of a CPAP mask..the insides of the nose become very dry…and the way to prevent that is using Vaseline type of product.

    Tips for walking in the heat

    Let’s hope that this new term reaches The Oxford Dictionary. Thanks for those great tips, btw, as it’s much appreciated: it gives us all points to keep in mind. Really good points especially after one has spent months in the desert. Would you recommend certain color types of clothing?

    @David You mention « camelling your body ». What does that mean? I am not familiar with that obviously British expression…does it have to do with water?
