Diamox is supposed to lessen the effects of altitude. I started taking it a few days ago because I figured it couldn' hurt to have every available edge. As of this morning I have changed my mind. One of the other members of our party mentiooned that Diamox can casue loose stools. I thought, gee perhaps it wasn't the wather I used to brush my teeth after all that caused that. Then I decided to check all the side effects. We were told by our guides it increases urination. Looking it up I found out why. Not sure how I missed it but Diamox is a diaretic. That explains having to get up multiple times to pee last night. The deciding factor though is that it causes tinnitus. Crap, I already have that thanke to the USAF F16's at Bagram. OK no more of that stuff. We ae acclimating very slowly, only hiking a few miles a day, a few rest dys thrown in. I shall be fine and to hell with Diamox!
