- 2023 - Camino FrancƩs
Hello everyone,
Iāve recently been diagnosed with Gilbertās syndrome, a benign genetic condition where the liver processes bilirubin more slowly than usual. This results in a buildup of bilirubin in the blood, leading to symptoms like fatigue and tiredness.
Iāve completed five Caminos in the past, with the most recent being the Camino FrancĆ©s this past May.
I began noticing these symptoms only in September, which understandably affected my preparation for the upcoming Camino InglƩs I had planned for November this year.
Iāll be consulting my doctor, but I wanted to reach out and see if anyone here has experience or insights related to this condition and long walks. Perhaps thereās even a āwalking doctorā familiar with the physical demands of the Camino?
Should I postpone my next Camino? Will I be able to undertake Caminos in the future? What precautions might be advisable?
I genuinely appreciate any advice or shared experiences. Thank you!
