I would love to see some studies done, but I have never found any. It seems like each person is different when you ask around. I personally have problems with dry cold air, it aggravates my asthma. Altitude is a killer for my oxygen levels. I had to move back to Denver after living at 8,800ft for a year because I didn't want to go on o2. And I was sick and tired of being exhausted all the time. And now I am thinking of going even lower.

I am curious if I would do better in salty humid weather. Kind of like permanent mild HTS? (am I stretching to much as an excuse to live by a beach?) <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> I know when I visit CA I cough like mad for a few days. I think it hydrates my dry, dehydrated, stuck mucus (from living in Denver). After it hydrates and I get it out I feel much better. HTS and Pulmozyme can only do so much in this climate.

i'm not too sure about this... they should do studies to see which is better. i also like the idea of living by the ocean for the constant saline air lol.

I live outside of Philadelphia and we get some really cold days here. It never bothered me until my lung function went down a lot. I just make sure to have a scarf on when I walk outside in the cold. It helps me alot!!!

I live in Wyoming and I can tell you two things:

Humidity = good
Cold weather/being inside all the time = bad

But I totally agree with lhkraus! I am looking to move to the Pacific Northwest (i.e. Oregon) because it is not only gorgeous, but my health totally improves. Anytime I am near the ocean for more than a few days, my cough literally disappears.

Unfortunately in Wyoming, that doesn't work lol. Winter is often really bad for me because it is SO cold that nobody goes outside, so we all just sit indoors and breath the same uncirculated air for months on end. And then me and my asthmatic boyfriend get eachother sick over and over again lol.

Good luck to your daughter! Tell her to go wherever she wants, and maybe visit places beforehand (mother-daughter bonding is so fun!) and see how she feels- I can usually tell in about a day or so if it's a good place for me to be or not.
