From almost the day we stepped off the plane, until now, I've had severe problems with allergies, asthma, and migraines. At first, I thought it was due to the house we were renting, so we moved to a different house. The problem persisted, and actually got worse. I've tried immunotherapy, and even that didn't help and made things worse. I was getting migraines at least 3 times a week for a while, and after having tests done, I found I'm allergic to all but one type of mold, and they all grow in this area. I can't go outside without breaking out in hives, and I'm taking benadryl on a daily basis. I've tried prescription allergy medications, and even they aren't working. At the moment, we are trying to see about moving to another location, but that's difficult in the military. I wouldn't recommend anyone with severe mold allergies to move to the Pacific Northwest, because there is an extreme abundance of mold everywhere here.

Was interested in reading that someone else has that head ache in the middle of their forehead. I get cottony ears, infected sinus', mucus drainage, occaisional asthma, which sometimes turns into bronchial infections. Was looking for places less allergy prone when I saw Seattle listed as one of the best. Looks like moving isn't an option. I live in Seattle and am allergy prone from March – October.

I am having little head aches in the middle of my forehead. I have never suffered from headaches before so I went to see my MD and the doctor told me that I might be having environmental allergies. (many trees and lots of rain)I am taking Alegra and Naselcort for the allergies but I do not wish to depend on them all the time. any other suggestion?

But you can also learn a lot by clicking the 'Washington' link under 'Locations' in the sidebar. Also recommended: 'Will moving to another climate help me?' 'Before you move' and 'Where can I go to escape allergies?' You'll find links to these three items under: 'General climate info' in the Categories section of the sidebar. Perhaps others will be sharing more specific info about Seattle with you also! Lois Perhaps some who’ve lived in WA will be able to share more.
