effect of weather on CF

[lhkraus]

Is there any evidence that living in bad (cold/rain/snow) weather can aggravate CF? We live in Southern California, so my daughter with CF has never had to deal with extreme weather. Now, she is getting ready to apply to college and we're wondering whether there is any health reason for her to stay close to home. Thanks

i'm not sure, though everyone's different!

note: i went to college in the Pacific Northwest...i totally recommend it for CF-ers...the constant rain was heavenly for someone with breathing issues.

i also hear that living by a coast is great for CFers (ie UCSB, UCSC) because the salt air and salt water acts as a natural treatment.

good luck to your daughter, wherever she ends up!!!!

Cold air bothers me a lot, especially because I also have an asthma component to my disease. I just wrap a big scarf around my face and try not to be outside for long. Personally, humid weather also bothers me, but if you dig around the forums a bit you will find that some people do better in that type of weather. I live in RI, so we have cold winters and humid summers. I am lucky to live right near the ocean, so the air is much saltier, especially when we have a wind off of the water. That helps me bring lots of junk up!

COLD in itself isnt bad, but it hits me when I go from cold to warm.
