Walking the Camino with Tinnitus?
Hmmmm, interesting. Heartfelt compassion to you! I've had severe tinnitus for nearly 40 years. It was devastating in the first five years; the thought that the ringing would never stop, that there was no escape, was anguishing. In seeking home, I drifted towards the ocean, I'm sure for the...- homa_bird

The doctor says my dodgy knee is arthritis - advice please!
Ah David, I love your intentional? or accidental? double entendre: "anything that reaches your sole (soul!) is a camino". The most amazing camino can occur gazing out from a 2nd story window, or from a hospital room, or in front of a homemade altar.- homa_bird

The doctor says my dodgy knee is arthritis - advice please!
I did a number on my knees with too much biking up hills in my later years, but imho walking is what brought them back. Also: OLIVE OIL. Can't say enough about olive oil for joints. As a long time seamstress, I would oil the joints of my old Singer treadle sewing machine regularly with top...- homa_bird

Major cause of blisters and other foot ailments
I saw more misery on the trail from heavy packs, it was awful, tears, heartache, feelings of failure when feet and knees were ruined. It was so sad. All because of heavy packs, and feeling the need for so much stuff. So, I'm offering a list of things NOT to take. I carried only about 7...- homa_bird

Sweaty Feet!
I've heard bamboo fiber socks wick sweat away the best. Makes sense to me. Also, I think your polypro might be the wrong sort of fiber for you...polyester doesn't wick sweat, just makes more. Bamboo or bamboo combo with Smartwool would be my 2 cents.- homa_bird
