Any PugSkiers here ever take Diamox (Acetazolamide) for altitude sickness? Did it have weird effects-make you feel excessively funky? Will be in Leadville this next week and wondering if I should bring some that I have on hand.
Cheers,

Most of us have either suffered from Acute Altitude Sickness or we're close to someone who has suffered from it.
For many of us, its as easy as hydrating, getting oxygen, replacing electrolytes, refraining from drinking, getting enough sleep, and/or going back to lower elevation.
