WELCOME TO COLORADO!
*Important Note for anyone traveling to CO: *BEWARE of high-altitude sickness!
Symptoms such as severe nausea, dry heaving, headaches, muscle pain, cramping, and general malaise and discomfort.
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE: Hydrate WELL the week, or two, prior to traveling to CO.Drink plenty of water along with some low-sugar, electrolyte-infused drinks –Pedialyte Powder packets are great.
UPON ARRIVAL: Purchase the following lifesavers and keep with you/use:
~ Canned oxygen -- near the in-store Pharmacy at some Safeway grocery stores in town – call and connect with the Safeway Pharmacy to ask if they have them in stock near the Pharmacy. ~ more Pedialyte powder -- can be found at most local grocery stores. These items are smart to have on hand as preventative measures, so you should buy and inhale/ingest, soon after you arrive, even if you feel “fine.
Altitude sickness comes on suddenly and is no joke – by the time it hits you it is
too late to reverse quickly, if at all.
