    Take medical records and lists of any medications

    If you use the old-fashioned method of paper and pen, attach the information to the back cover of your passport (inside the passport). You can be sure if you're in the hospital or a medical clinic, they will ask for your passport. No messing about with the internet connections or looking...

    Blisters on soles of feet

    Hey Val, seriously, ask other peregrinos for help if you need it. You will be amazed at how many people want to help and how much 'stuff' people are carrying 'just in case'. You're the just in case they are waiting for. Let them help you. Rest well tonight. No need to reply - we all...

    Blisters on soles of feet

    Hi Val, it's now almost a day since you posted. More than likely if you walked today, your blisters have popped. Hopefully, you have not gotten more. I will assume you know how to care for a wound by now. I will not throw more advice at you about blister care but I would suggest to you that...

    Anyone here who walked the Camino having neuropathy?

    Do I have bed bug bites?

    Willow bark - Ibuprofen

    I would submit that putting a single link in your initial post is a rather sketchy recommendation to readers to "do their own research as well" (especially a link which requires the reader to 'accept' before even being able to get to the article). As a physician, I have treated patients having...

    First aid kit for helping others

    You might want to add a small pad of paper & pen so you can write down information for the patient - name of medications he is to look for, what you've done, allergies, if any. I also suggest each person walking long treks carry a short list of medical information inside their passport (showing...

    Toe nails

    Toe nails

    I wonder if you think they would help prevent my pinkie from rolling under the toe next to it. I have tried various methods of taping to keep my pinkie 'straight' rather than lying lazily on its side but nothing really works well. Every time I walk a lot, it causes me blisters and I'm not...
