Re: Re: asthma/allergies/asthma

[Guest guest]

The cop was very nice. It was clear as day (or night because my attack happened

at night), that I wsa having difficulty breathing.

in regards to wanting rain, when the pollen is high, the rain pats it down

the flip side, more mold.

you said it well, the water tables get a long drink. I hear Fla still is

short on rain though.

Sinuses are bad here too.

can we ever over come all this?

Does anyone know of an ideal place to live where much of the allergies an

asthma can simmer down?

Fl, the warmth is good for the bones but the humidity is a killer. In NY, I

suffered in countles ways.

I hear the NW, like Washington, Oregon are no good, the southwest is dry but

the dust from the sand is also not good. THe plains, my dr said don't even

think of it.

The only place I am thinking of these days is a concrete place but I am not

ready for a dirt nap. I still have a life ahead of me. I am just tired of

suffering through this all.

I enjoy reading everyone's posts. I have said this before as well. I do not

feel alone through all this. There are others out there like me.

It seems strange for those of us with mold-related allergies to want

for rain, but there are certain circumstances where it helps rather

than hurts.

We've had about an inch of the rain that Florida has sent our way and

while my sinuses and lungs are screaming at me, at least the water

table gets to take a good long drink.

Take care, all,
