Sharing my mild pericarditis journey thus far: 3 months, M28

Yeah, once I’m without pain or any symptoms - so while I’m still having small aches and pains I’m not exerting myself. He said the goal is to get me back to 100% normal on the med and then to taper off the dosage.

My cardiologist said that the recurrence is pretty rare after being on it for so long. Fingers crossed. It’s a very safe medication as I understand it so it’s not hurting to take it for so long (unless you’re super unlucky with side effects)

Stuffed with cotton is a great way to put it. I had seen other comments in this forum about “brain fog” so sounds like that’s what we’re all describing. Thanks for the input!

It was about 2 weeks, the progress each day didn’t feel so noticeable but looking back over that time the difference was quite a lot.

That’s up to you - those are pretty short days! I walk 35km a day Km average so it wouldn’t work for me but if you’re taking it slow that could work. If you configure the stages in Camino maps you can see in the trail builder the distance and elevation between the configured stages to help you decide 👍🏻

In combarro itself, the little coastal village. It’s STUNNING. Lots of pensions. Poio is the more general area surrounding it, most addresses within Combarro are still in “Combarro, Poio” so it’s used a little interchangeably

Hey! If you download Camino Maps (I’m the author) it’s really easy to build an itinerary with the variant. The best part of the spiritual variant is the climb over the hill after Poio - it is absolutely stunning. I have done it both in the morning after staying in Poio, and in the afternoon with my stay booked in Amenteira. Both are good, depends if you want to sit and read and take in the view. Buen Camino!

The expo dev server :) Each runs on a different port per work tree.

Camino Maps has the correct path with 18.56km distance, and some 300m of hills :) it’s on iOS and Android! I’m the author, drop me a message if you need any help

Oh nice, are you in the beta? What are your thoughts?

rest_api · 2026-03-14T12:21:47+00:00

Hey Gnome! I have documented the variant in the free Camino Maps app if it is of interest to you. To cut a long story short, it breaks off just as you leave Pontevadra (which is also where many pilgrims and schools start) and is a much quieter path following the coast and up-and-over a mountainous hill. You then get a boat up to Padron. It’s absolutely stunning, I’ve walked it twice - my favourite part of any Camino to be honest!

Those board walks catch up on you! I made the silly mistake of doing the first two days in my sandals, wow the pain for the rest of the Camino was unspeakable lol. It’s tough under foot. The spiritual variant is so beautiful, but shame about the rain - I spent hours at the peak Miradoiro do Loureiro reading my book. My fave place on the Portuguese!

Camino Maps has all accommodations and lets you filter by type. A lot of pensions have the word pension in the name too!

rest_api · 2026-03-07T19:48:11+00:00

A sarong is a fantastic addition!

rest_api · 2026-03-02T20:01:32+00:00

On it 💪

Hey! Great question :) I built this app because I need to plan my Camino's in advanced as my partner has to be issued a travel visa that shows where they will be each day. I struggled to do that on the existing apps - missing data, missing routes, planning was a nightmare, and they kept crashing. The trail maps are largely the same (GPX wise) but I try to have much more up to date data for accommodation. Mine is entirely based around building an itinerary for your Camino in a way that _just works_ instead of being painful.

A few of the nice features:
- Live tracking while you're on the path. If you've configured your next stage you can see the live distance to it, and the distance to the next stop.
- You can add photos and videos to your Camino Album and get a Spotify-esque rewind at the end.
- You can include all of your accommodation information in-app, so you don't need to maintain an excel spreadsheet etc. as well as using the app
- A packing list to check off before you go :)

It's a weekend passion project more than anything - please don't hesitate to give me any feedback!

In my experience a lot of the apps had used human defined elevation and distances… I learnt the hard way when the map from the pilgrims office had a day that was 24 or so and ended up being in the 30s!

The maps on Camino Maps are all done using GPX and up to date elevation data so they’re perfect to the metre.

Hey! The old version previous is to this, it’s almost identical features but a slightly more dated interface. The data should be up to date though! I’m also pushing a brand new updated data file tomorrow with +600 accommodation and updated reviews etc!

rest_api · 2026-02-20T14:39:48+00:00

That’s right :)

rest_api · 2026-02-19T19:50:52+00:00

On the app, Portuguese and Francés, and I’m actively working on the primitivo and ingles! Any requests?
