location & CF

[mom2lillian]

I was just wondering if any of you have ever drastically changed locations and had effects on CF (I guess you can count a long vacation too but I mean permanently).

I was wondering because we live in MI and I always want to move where there is no change in season because that is when I always get sick. BUT we dont want to live where we dont have family so only warm place with family is phoenix--too crowded and not many family members there and florida which my husband is very concerned will be too damp and moldy for my ABPA.

I woudl love to hear how you think climates affect you and are there any good articles or references out there?

thanks!

I live in Western Australia, but have noticed the best place to stay is near the beach ... I think it is because the salt water but when ever we spend holidays in a beach house the 1st few days i spend coughing up loads of junk and by the time i leave i feel heaps better and breath easier.

I moved from Michigan to Japan, but I think that's WAY to drastic of a change...besides, no CF Centers here!!

I was originally from the Downriver Area of Detroit, and didn't mind the seasons, except when the allergies kicked in the hardest during August. Also, downtown Detroit, and the southern area which bordered along Dearborn, and the cities with all the steel factories were very rough on my lungs. Even Metro Airport had a bit too much carbon dioxide for me.

California seems to be the least likely for changes in season, but the State is still in a financial mess as far as I know, and the Carbon Monoxide levels in LA are probably 10 times that of Detroit.

Colorado, with it's high altitude has less mold, but then the concern would be that it still gets pretty cool (and snowy) in the winter time, and the air is thinner, meaning a serious adjustment, or early need for carrying O2, and having to drink about 3 liters of water daily as to not dehydrate.

Not sure about how Seattle is, but I was considering that as a place to return to...got to liking the mountains these days!

I've lived in the Rockies for 15 years - high and dry here - I used to live in lower altitude and more humid places, which I liked better and believe I felt better. But, I was younger then, too. I'd love to be able to live near the ocean. My doctor says the southeast is a good place to avoid.

I moved from NJ to CA 2 years ago, mostly because of the climate. I live in Sacramento -- people here joke that there are just 2 seasons, summer and winter. Summers have no humidity, which I love, but it does get kinda hot. But if you're from AZ, you might already be used to that. Winters are rainy and cool. Good luck...

Hello Nicole!

I live on the coast about 40 miles south west of San Francisco. I moved here from Massachusetts in 1990 after living there 42 years and I must say it was the best thing I have ever done to improve my health.

The air is very clean on the coast! I have a state funded health insurance plan GHPP which covers every penny of my medical expenses.

When you live in the San Francisco area you have a choice of one of two of the best CF centers in the country, either UCSF or Stanford.

I always had seasonal colds and difficulty gaining weight when I lived in MA. My health and my attitude greatly improved shortly after moving to California!! I gained weight and I was able to return to working a full time job for the first time in several years because of my increased strength and improved health.

I am 58 years old diagnosed at age 8, very sick as a child with more than a dozen long term hospitalizations in my first twelve years, four of which were for pneumonia.

I think the thing that made the biggest difference in moving here was being able to live in a mild climate year round (less stress) and having very clean air to breathe.

If you would like more information you are welcome to leave me a personal message on this site or email me at campanaledesign@netzero.net

Best wishes!!!

I grew up in phila. I lived in upstate new york for 15 years. I've lived in phoenix for over 10 years. I also lived in florida for 3 months. By far, I have felt the best and stayed the healthiest here in mesa AZ. That doesn't mean you don't get sick. The winter snow birds bring their nasty germs with them. So many snow birds, so little freezer space!
