Does anyone have experience with altitude sickness? I think that's what I experienced but I'm not sure. When I first came to the high mountain desert of Ely, NV (elavation 6,500 feet in the valley; 8,000 feet plus in the mountaines) I had a lot of difficulty breathing, was light-headed and was panting after climbing a flight of stairs. This went away after a month or so.
Right now, I'm dividing my time between MD and NV. The first time I came home to MD, I returned to NV a month later and I had no problem with the altitude. I'm getting ready to go back to NV after being home for 5 months. I'm wondering if I'll have to readjust to the altitude once again, after spending so much time at sea level. Lord, I hope not. :-(
