    Let me get this straight. You are saying that a person who requires a medical device which is offensive to you, should not be allowed in an albergue. The "noise" of the machine is not that loud and if ear plugs don't work for you and your nights...

    Anyone who expects an even reasonable level of privacy in a dorm . . . to be as kind as possible, realign your brain cells. Life is not designed to cater around a single individual. Use the cPAP machine as often as possible, of course picking...

    I almost like this concept: huge buildings full of crazy people partying down the way… probably includes snorers, farters and the emotionally incontinent who might initiate a conversation. Aach! For those who have never been there “there” is a...

    Bumpa reacted to starrysky's post in the thread PTSD on the Camino with Thank you Thank you.
    Bumpa - Thanks so much for what you have written here. I am now going to change my own status to PTSI. Perfect! I have never viewed “PTSD” as a mental “illness” but rather the functioning of a survival-oriented brain which sends out signals...
