I have a question to ask that I have never noticed covered here in my years on the board.
Last August, I had the opportunity to visit an old friend in Colorado. It was a l-o-n-g way from Illinois, but I made it, and loved the opportunity to be back in the mountains after so many years' absence.
I was there for about two weeks, taking it easy at an elevation of 9,000 ft. I had feared the height would make my string of symptoms worse, but I got along VERY well, and actually felt a good deal better than usual.
After I got back home, I enjoyed about an additional two-week reduction in my every-day-for-10-years symptoms. Then, day by day, things crept back toward my "normal" (Rats!).
I assume it is nothing but coincidence, but has anyone here on the board experienced benefit from being at higher altitude for a while? I figured this would be the only place I would know to ask!!!
Inquiring Hawkeyes want to know...
