Allergies and asthma in California, Chicago, South America, Florida
I moved when I was 3 from Los Angeles to Chicago and got ashtma. I moved to South America and it went away. I moved then to Chicago and was fine. I then moved to West Palm Beach Florida. My days and nights are miserable cant breath cant drink or eat anything. As soon as i go to Chicago 3 days later everything is gone. But I dont like Chicago anymore. I’m considering going to California to see what happens? — John, Florida
I have lived in Northern California all my life and I have always suffered with allergies. I am allergic to the trees, grasses, pollens and molds. The desert area in California may be better, but I have always lived between Sacramento & S.F. Good luck, Annamarie, Calif.

Since relocating from HI to SOCAL in 1990, I developed allergic rhinitis- principally grasses year round and chronic sinusitis. In my case, ENTs say there is nothing wrong mechanically and do not offer surgical treatment. Allergy-Immunology medications and immunotherapy is ineffective at best.

Since I moved to Southern California, my asthma has been much better! But what helps me the most, is regular exercise, cardio, and deep breathing. It sounds like a no brainer, but some avoid exercise because of a fear of an asthma attack. Exercise is what has helped me.
