Allergies and asthma worse in Denver

I have always had asthma but it was very mild, mostly just when I exercised. But over a year ago, we moved to Colorado from California and I have developed allergies, chronic sinusitis and my asthma has worsened since we moved here.

My doctor in California had said that Denver would be better for my asthma because the air quality is better here but I have since found out that many people have increased problems with allergies and asthma here. I think the dry climate and altitude are hard on the sinuses and asthma, and there are problems with allergies here even mold and dust mites.

Since I have been here, I have developed allergies to dogs, trees, weeds, feathers and mold. I went from having hardly any problem to being on three different medications and still having problems and now my doctor is considering allergy shots or sinus surgery. If you have problems with allergies or asthma I would not recommend Colorado. We are considering moving somewhere else. — MK, Colorado

Best climates for mold allergy?

I was raised in southern New Jersey and always had sinus trouble. It all went away when I moved to Long Beach, CA. When I moved to Phoenix and Prescot, AZ I had a mild problem as there are 2 rainy seasons and it gets humid in the summer when it rains. Six years ago, we moved to Macon, GA and I have been dying ever since. I have since been tested for allergies and am allergic to molds and mildrew.

I’ve got to move to find some relief. Where can I move to find some relief?? – Sandra, Georgia

Florida, Desert Southern California Allergy Climates

I grew up in TN and did not develop serious allergies until I was an adult. I was terrorized by them. I was off a month of work once because nothing I did helped.

My Husband was stationed in the desert area of Southern California,which is very dry all year round and does not get to cold but very hot in the summer. Since living here the one thing I can’t complain about are my allergies. Only during the first couple of months of what should be fall and spring do I have problems and that is even mild. I do keep allergy medications on hand during those times. All in all, I have had no real complaints about them and I have only been sick two times in the past year and a half. — Catherine, California

I would love to retire in the Palm springs, Palm Desert area; however, I’m aware of the extraordinarily high pollution levels. Including air pollution, with which other allergies will I need to deal?

Living in Austin, mold, cedar and other airborne allergans are making my life miserable and creating the need for immediate relief by moving out of the area. — Larry, Texas
