Pacing my activities and controlling pain and fatigue is somedays ok, somedays not. ~lottie

Lottie, what parts of Italy are you visiting? I very much want to go to Italy. My Grandfather is from Santa Caterina in Calabria--southern Italy. A mountain village 2200 feet up, over looking the mediterranean. My wife has RSD and your experience may help us make the trip.
Places I'd like to visit is--(south to north) Greek temples in central Sicily, Santa Caterina. Tropea, pompeii and herculaneum, Rome-----oh hell, the whole country.
Have a great trip!!!
