Altitude sickness at moderate gains
archenemy replied to archenemy's topic in Fitness and Nutrition Forum
I am a little confused at to what you are saying here...Sounds like the same conflicted message that I feel might be the case. I have read that past experience is not necessarily predictive of future experience; but my own history seems to show a slow, progressive increased sensitivity to altitude. -

I'll try this seperately from the Almond experiment. Good suggestion--thanks!~ -

Mid way through (where I got sick) was about 1,500-2000 ft. Heat does make me sick, but it was slightly cloudy and even had a little thundershower yesterday. I've had no alcohol for quite a while, so my system should be pretty clean (too much sugar maybe). You guys ask good questions, thanks for getting me thinking about these factors! -

I see a doctor regularly and am fine as far as I know. Without a specific suggestion on what might be wrong or what to look for, there is no reason to go. The only time I get ill like this is at altitude, but maybe something else triggers it? -

It's possible, but I don't think so. Safe Sex is an easy climb that doesn't require nerves of steel nor much physical conditioning. Any other thoughts or possibilities that come to mind? -
I read that past altitude sickness experiences have no baring on future ones. I am starting to think that may not be true. The first time I ever experienced altitude sickness was about four years ago in Peru. Since then, I seem to get ill pretty easily. For example, yesterday I barfed halfway up Safe Sex. Not long ago, I barfed a couple pitches up SEWS. This never used to happen to me. Now it seems to all the time. I don't want to live on Diamox, but I am starting to think that I'll have to start taking it even for moderate gains in elevation. Is anyone else relating to this? Anyone find this happening to them too?

You rule! I can haul the keg up and have a can ready for ice and the keg. I have no refridgerator--sorry.

OK, so how does July 22nd sound? Will Terminal be ready? Will CComer's be ready?

Pay attention darling, pay attention. REI is worse than voting for president - your vote for president actually matters! I complain about REI because they have consistantly disenfranchised the owners (members) and consolidated control in the board. The only way the owners (members) can get a canidate up for election to the BOD is by a writein campaign featuring 1% of active members (yes I actually received the canidate package). Then you have the possibility of being elected. There can only be 2 writein canidates on the BOD, all other members are nominated by the CEO and BOD. Ergo the owners can effect minimal change over the company they own - the managers control and run the company at their whim. Because the managers have chosen to do some decent things (green power, etc.) doesn't change the cronycapitalism way they now function. Cronyism's ultimately bad for us in both the small and large sense. Sorry if that make me selfrighteous Would I like REI to operate differently? Yes, but I'd like even more to have a say in their operation! If the membership chose the course it'd be different. you said you were born in DC... you should be used to lack of representation You crack me up Hell, it doesn't seem to matter where you were born in the US; if you weren't born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you don't get no representation.

Pay attention darling, pay attention. REI is worse than voting for president - your vote for president actually matters! That's hilarious. Electoral College, honey, that's what matters. Actually it's the two parties that matter. The Oligarchies select our candidates for us. We have more than two parties, and that matters; but otherwise, you and I are completely in agreement about the plutocracy/oligarchy angle!

Oh, right. And voting for the president is JUST LIKE bitching about your REI income. Pleeeeze.

I'll unlock the gate for you. Check your PMs

Right. And I won't listen to those people who bitch about the war who haven't served in the armed forces. Then I can sound as self rightous as you.

Since my dividend is no longer tied to the actual profit of the company why should I care about profit? Is our bitching like someone who doesn't vote bitching about politics?
