I didn't know altitude sickness could get this bad, I thought it was just a temporary thing. But I live and grew up in Colorado so what do I know? When I come back home after being in other states I think it feels 10x better.

It can really fuck you up, especially if you're coming from somewhere that's sea level to say...7000ft in a short amount of time. That's why it's recommended to do it gradually, because in a worst-case scenario you could easily end up in the hospital.

This. I moved from a sea level city to a mountain town. I thought I was going to end up in the hospital. Thankfully I didn't but I did have to go somewhere for oxygen therapy. It helped a lot.
