Anyone else get sick at elevation? any cures or preventions?
We camp at over 10k and I know going up slow helps, but that is not really an option. Each time has been about the same, within an hour of arriving at camp and trying to setup I get nauseous, vomiting till I am empty. I curl up in my sleeping bag, sipping water when I can and sleep for about 12-14 hours. when I wake up the next morning I feel better. The first 12 hours I am worthless.
I was told tums and ibuprofen would help, but it didn't. any safe preventions anyone knows of?
