Anyone live in Colorado?

I was wondering if anyone lived in Colorado and what they thought of it. My boyfriend is looking into Grad school in the Boulder area, so I would be going to Clinic at the Jewish National Center (one of the largest Adult Clinics in the nation) so I'm not so much worried about my CF care as I am about the weather. I don't seem to do well emotionally and physically with lots of snow or long long winters.

Although I hear colorado is so beautiful I'm wondering if anyone who lived there had an opinion about how the weather affects their health -- if at all? Are you still able to be active, even with all the snow and coldness? I'm just curious, any thoughts or advice would be great! Thanks so much. =)

Sorry didn't see your question earlier. I live in the area of Colorado you are talking about.

The doctors at National Jewish are amazing!! The altitude takes some getting used to---it causes some fatigue, shortness of breath. It took me about 4 weeks to get used to the different air and altitude. I am originally from the midwest. Before long we were hiking in the mountains. I still got more winded then everyone else but I just took it at a different pace then everyone else.

I love it here. I breath so much better than in the midwest (little to no humidity here).

I'm from CO, although I never went to the adult clinic out there since I moved for college and never went back full time.

Boulder is high, but not as high as the real mountain towns -- it's in the foothills. I was born there, so obviously I never had to adjust to the altitude, but I always found I did well in CO health wise. Parts of CO actually used to be sanitariums for people with lung disease (CO Spgs, for example), b/c of the clean, dry air. When I was 6 my family tried moving to TX and actually had to move back b/c of my health.

You may find yourself on O2 even if you aren't already, or on it more often if you are. Even perfectly healthy people tend to have lower sats in high altitudes, and I do know some people who need O2 in CO even if they never do elsewhere. I need it 24/7 when I go home to visit my parents, whereas here at sea level my sats tend to be around 92-94 on room air. So just keep in mind that you may want to have a CF clinic visit scheduled for right after the move (i.e., sooner rather than later) to evaluate your O2 sats at the higher elevation. Other than that, though, I don't think you should have many problems.

Good luck! Boulder is beautiful -- my mom is a dean/professor at the university so I have a bit of a bias <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
