Michele,
You mentioned altitude as a factor, and I had never considered that! I've lived in Calgary, Alberta, Canada for all of my nearly 31 years, altitude nearly 3500 feet above sea level. hmmmmm
Maybe this is the best reason to pack up and move to California!</end quote></div>
I have read -- and experienced it firsthand -- that when someone who has lived a long time at a high altitude moves to a lower altitude, they get an increase in energy for a time because their body is used to coping with a thinner atmosphere. I suspect I have gotten a permanent benefit out of the increase in ribcage size and lung capacity. So if you were to move to a lower altitude, you might find that you breathe easier (assuming you don't move to a more polluted area <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> ).
EDIT: Oh, duh. I already basically said that. Nevermind. I desperately need more sleep.
PS -- In case you didn't realize it, The High Desert is in Southern California. Some parts of California are high altitude and some aren't.
