Jamaica, St. Louis, maybe Alaska?
I’m from Jamiaca by way of the Bahamas and I’m a chronic, perennial allergy sufferer. My allergens are mold, ragweed, trees and dust. I’m sure there are some food ones thrown in as well.
Anyway I’m living in St. Louis since 1999 and it has been just awful. I’ve had two surgeries because my nasal passages keep growing shut and I’m always stuffy and breaking out in hives despite being on zyrtec, allergy shots, rhinocort and singulair. My ENT says he doesn’t know how to help me and my allergist keeps trying different combinations of drugs that wokrk for a time and then stop.
Alaska sounds like the place for me! What do you think? — Hillary, St. Louis
You’ll have to make the decision, but you can find help in the ‘General Climates info’ and the ‘Alaska’ categories. Be sure to read all comments in the emails in those sections also!
Perhaps others who have lived in Alaska will share more with you.
I hope it goes well, whatever decision you make!

Hi! I’m sorry to hear of your woes. I’m from St. Louis and also have chronic seasonal allergies. St. Louis is one of the allergy hotspots of he US, so moving to basically any other city may help you out. Hope everything goes well.
