Getwood replied to the thread LIVE from the Camino Héctor Walks His Way-week 4.I'm actually bringing along prescription-strength Diclofenac gel (10%). Stuff's been a Godsend for my knees, and allows me to minimize/eliminate my use of oral NSAIDs (which work well but don't agree with my guts).

Getwood replied to the thread Accommodations as bad as Booking.com shows ???.I've booked ahead for several reasons, two of which have to do with my night-time habits which are health-related and which I firmly believe should not be a burden to my peregrino comrades. I've also got a smattering of albergues in the mix, due...
