  • We were able to get our hike in before it started to rain. We made great time and got to our pick up spot an hour early! #appalachiantrailthruhike2024 #appalachiantrailthruhike #atthruhike #hiking

    It is very much appreciated but certainly not necessary. I have posted this just because I have had people ask about care packages or being able to send virtual trail magic. I’m just glad you are sharing this journey with me. That is plenty for me 😀
    Thanks for

    Carrie, I'm glad you're gonna check into your dizziness. There are so many things that it could be, maybe your doctor can help you sort it out. Love seeing the views, the forests, and the trail as you hike. Looks like you beat the rain. Hope you had fun at trail days. Ya'll are doing so well. You're making good progress every day. Take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.

      I did see a dr at trail days. We believe it is vertigo.

    Sorry to hear that your dizziness has continued. I hope you've figured out the problem and it has healed. My Dad has dealt with vertigo periodically in his lifetime and he has to get his ears cleaned out. Take care. 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏼‍♂️🚶🏻‍♀️👍🏻

    Hey girl! It’s good to see you so happy!! You are truly in your element! But please take care of yourself and do get that dizziness checked. Isn’t there an immediate clinic in one of the towns? Or maybe a walk in clinic?? I’m worried about you!! Love you girl……. 🥰

      Is has settled down I think it was vertigo. Love you too🥰

    I'v have had to go to the emergency room twice for dehydration, two things the Dr told me, once dehydrated, you can't drink enough to get rehydrated, and second, if you are not peeing, you aren't drinking enough, I drink of water with electrolytes now days when working and playing outdoors. Hope you get it figured out. Take care and Hike on !

      I am doing my best to drink as much as I can. I’m going to get adjusted and hopefully that will help. 🤷‍♀️

    We used to call rain, liquid sunshine. I'm laughing about you not seeing deer. I was out in my yard, a little while ago, and a very pregnant doe came out on the lawn and stared at me. I ignored her so, she huffed and stomped her hoof. I waved and she trotted back into the woods. I knew what she wanted so I went in and got her a serving of deer corn. After I put it out and went inside she came over and scarfed it down. We have demanding deer.
    I have to worry about your medical condition. Take a day, eat well, take a hot bath just before bed and get a good nights sleep. If you develope a headache with those symptoms, you may have a tick disease. I get a "halo headache" and my eyes can't stand bright light when I'm tick sick. I have been tick sick 9 times. I've never seen the ticks nor tested positive for the diseases. The tests are very unreliable. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick

      I actually have seen two now! One today 😀. I am feeling a lot better now. I’m pretty sure it is vertigo. It hasn’t bothered in a few days although every once in a while I get a tinge it is returning. But so far it hasn’t🤞thanks for you concern. I really appreciate that.

  • @deedunn7563

    Carrie...hi Do you take BP Meds. Several of them cause dizziness as a side effect. Dehydration is a source also . Happy trails!!!

    • @carrieprewitt
      @carrieprewitt  27 дней назад

      No my BP is pretty good. I think it was vertigo.

    I’m wondering if on one of your falls you hit hard enough to jar you head. This happened to me and for 2 years I couldn’t figure it out. Finally just googled what it could be and found there is a maneuver called Epley maneuver that corrects the crystal which causes the dizziness.
    Also wanted to share, I’m working on my Smokies map and in the summer I love PBJ wraps but hate that my jelly melts, bought some organic fruit wraps and that solved the problem! Thank you and Susan One!

      I don’t think so but luckily the vertigo has really subsided and only shows up mildly every once in a while

  • @suzannebedford4969
    @suzannebedford4969 28 дней назад +1

    Could it be dehydration and lack of rest? I always experience dizziness when hiking when I need more hydration, electrolytes and rest. Hope you figure it out. Hike on!!

    • @carrieprewitt
      @carrieprewitt  26 дней назад

      Thanks! I think I need all of those 😂 but I think it is vertigo. It’s been pretty good the last few days.

    Carrie, are there urgent care clinics back there? (Not emergency room) I hope you get checked out and find resolution.

    • @carrieprewitt
      @carrieprewitt  27 дней назад

      I saw a dr at trail days and we believe it was vertigo. But I’m feeling much better now, thank you.

  • @TiggerTreks
    @TiggerTreks 28 дней назад

    I have had chronic vertigo since a surgery near my ear 14 years ago. It’s awful and can really ruin your day. I hope you figured it out. Sorry about the fall! I had a hard one too out there but will be back on trail soon. It was great meeting you at trail days and sorry we didn’t get to chat. You are doing amazing!

    • @carrieprewitt
      @carrieprewitt  15 дней назад

      Vertigo seems to be mild when it shows up. I’m on fall #4 now but never really gotten hurt 🤞 I hope you get back on trail soon. Stay safe! It was good meeting you too!

    You may have vertigo. I have gotten it in the past. Dizziness when I moved my head early in the morning. Good news is there were some exercises I did that made it go away. Hope that is it.

    • @TiggerTreks
      @TiggerTreks 28 дней назад

      The exercises work great for positional vertigo but not other types.

    • @carrieprewitt
      @carrieprewitt  15 дней назад

      I’ve done the exercises and it has helped, I was also able to go to the chiropractor 😀 doing much better
