I lived in Colorado for 20 years having mild asthma, allergies, and eczema. After moving to Charleston, South Carolina my asthma kicked in (had to get a daily inhaler) and after 6 months or so my eczema began to go from mild to severe. I went back to Colorado after two years in SC and my conditions did not lessen. Now, I’m living in Portsmouth VA where I’m getting UV light therapy which is taking care of my eczema. Now, my husband will be stationed in either Hawaii or New Hampshire this coming fall. Does anyone know where would be better? I’m most concerned about eczema. It’s the most debilitating. Thanks! – Andrea, VA

Allergies: Portland, Berkley, New Hampshire, New England
I have lived in Portland, OR for almost nine years, and my allergies (mold, yeast, dust, pollen) have worsened. For the last two years, I’ve been unable to work for days or weeks in March due to severe eczema. I need to move–but Colorado, which my doctor recommended, seems TOO dry from what I’ve read on this website. I’m also considering Berkeley, CA, or New England (I’m from NH & didn’t have nearly as much of a problem there). Any thoughts? I haven’t read anything about New England climates here & would love to hear from there especially. — M.N., Oregon
