Allergies in Chicago, Vegas, Utah
My husband and I are both born and raised in Chicago where he has struggled with allergies/asthma since he was in grade school. There, he used his inhaler daily, plus using decongestant and antihistamine. He was miserable almost year-round, and got more than the usual number of colds (he had colds at least 4x a year).
Here in Vegas, he is a changed man. Does not use his inhaler AT ALL, and does not use antihistamines nor decongestants. He has not had a cold in 2 years here (we’ve now been here 9).
My story seems to be the exact opposite. I had seasonal allergies and non-allergic rhinitis back in Chicago. Here, I have problems breathing year-round. When the wind blows, forget it - I can’t even venture outside or I’ll be in bed for a day or two.
Maybe we’ll try Utah next! — P., Nevada
