About 15 years ago I experienced altitude sickness on a winter climb of Wheelers Peak in NM. I camped at about 10,000' and awoke the next morning with what felt like a bad hangover. It went away as the day progressed. One thing I've noticed though, when I change elevations I always have joint pain problems for a few days or a week until my body acclimates. It happened to me last winter when I moved from 600' San Marcos TX to 4,500' Sierra Vista AZ.
