I get mad altitude sickness. I cant go to any camps because of this and I'm pissed off. Anybody got any suggestions? I cant go any higher than 8000 by the way

Hey, dont say such mean and nasty things.

I have retards for parents who thought I had the flu, even the Ski patrol guy was dumb about it. That was like in eighth grade, like five years ago. But thanks for the advice.

Last time I was at like 8300 ft and I threw up for like 8 hours staight.

Maybe now I can go to windells.

ok I went to colorado last fall for my first time ever in high altitude people told me about altitude sickness so I got sick. Then when returning out west this spring someone told me to eat ginko biloba 24 hours before you get into altitude and every 8 hours that you are there and I got no symptoms whatsoever. So then I realised altitude sickness is in your head just remember that your doing to yourself and i spent two months in high altitude this spring with no effects whatsoever except the hangovers are terrible at 10000 feet in colorado i just drank to much

HAGGARD - as said above, drink water and eat more fruit. Avoid alcohol. Score some Diamox.

Diamox (Acetazolamide) is the most tried and tested drug for altitude sickness prevention and treatment. It makes your blood more acidic which drives ventilation (you breathe faster so that you metabolise more oxygen). This is a fundamental principle of acclimatisation.

hey, frankly, I wouldn't listen to all the people on this site. Go to a doctor, don't always believe ski patrollers cause one once told me my arm wasn't broken when it was, and he even told me not to bother going to the doctor. So go to a real professional because it would suck to take these kids advice then end up hella sick. Even if you aren't going into high altitudes though drink tons of water anyway. peace.

you mean 'sea-level' ^

Doesn't it take like more than a year for the average person to get aclimated though? and then when you come back to sea level your body has to start all over again... that sucks!
