Mold allergies in Oregon?

I have lived in the Midwest most of my life and have been doing a lot of research comparing Oregon to Wisconsin & Minnesota. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2008. Heat and humidity as well as extreme cold worsen MS symptoms. I’ve also lived in Northern Virginia, England, and Germany. I think a milder, less extreme climate might be better for my MS, but I’m also sensitive to mold. Any thoughts, please? – Christine, Wisconsin

I am 25 years old and moved to Kansas city, MO from ND three years ago. Since I have moved, my allergies have gotten out of control. I am greatly allergic to mold and grass pollen. I have had recurrent sinus infections in ALL seasons and have subsequently developed asthma since moving here. I take allegra-D, inhalers and nasal sprays, but it doesn’t seem to do much. My allergies are better when I do go back up to MN and ND, however there are much worse even there than they ever were before I moved to Kansas City. Does anyone have experience with Arizona, specifically Scottsdale, and allergies? — Karri, Kansas City, Missouri
