Next month I am leaving to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. I was rear-ended in June, resulting in a concussion and post-concussion syndrome. I'm still getting migraines, nausea, am hyper-sensitive to sound and light, and definitely am not back to my pre-accident activity level (where I was training for the climb). I'm not running. Walking is fine, but I tire easily.

Also in preparation for my climb, I have raised over $10,000 for colon cancer research and screening awareness in honour of my dad, who died last summer just six weeks after being diagnosed with colon cancer. Clearly, this climb is very important to me, personally. It's more than a climb. It's for my dad. Not going is not an option, but I'm aware that I may not summit. (Probably won't summit?) I've been reading a few wilderness and adventure doctor blogs/sites, which indicate I'm not at greater risk for HACE. Does anyone have any experience with concussion symptoms at altitude?

I'm not looking for a miracle, but some hope would be nice.
