Ideal Climate?

I'm really glad that you are bringing up questions about my post Saveferris, because it has caused me to do some research. When you pointed out the part about Western Europe including warmer climates, it made me question whether I just focused in on the word "Northern" or whether I had truly heard that CF ancestors were from the "Northern" areas. Anyway, I looked at several other sites that state something like this (quoted from the link below).

"It (CF) affects people from all racial and ethnic groups but is <b>most common </b>among Caucasians whose ancestors came from northern Europe."

What I found very interesting in my research though was the fact that

"CF is also common in: Latinos and
Native Americans, especially the Pueblo and Zuni."

Also, quoted from the same website.

It's great to have people like yourself inspiring others to do some research.

Btw, I want to repeat that I am unsure whether any of this has anything to do with CFers and their tolerance of climates. I myself prefer the mild weather. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I just have to chime in on this one because I see that most people have issues with humidity. I personally have grown up in Florida and did horrible pre transplant when I was in dry climates or cold climates. The ONLY hemoptysis issues I ever had came in dry weather. I would wheeze in cold dry weather and so on.

I have talked to people that have told me what climates I would do well in (again pre transplant) and I traveled to those areas and lo and behold I had a harder time in those "ideal climates". My point in saying this is I don't think there is any one climate in particular that is best for everyone. I think alot of it depends on where you have spent the majority of your time and what you are best acclimated too.

I still have issues when I travel to extremely dry places. I get nose bleeds and major sinus issues. Though it isn't the same for my breathing anymore my sinuses definitely have issue with climate changes.

That being said for someone traveling to Florida that is not used to heavy humidity it can be suffocating. I have had friends in the past that moved from California, New York, Pennsylvania and so on and they have told me that the humidity can sometimes take their breathe away. I will say for me the only thing the humidity does is cause me to get hot faster and can affect my blood sugar - thus making me feel weak or fatigued due to low blood sugar.

So I think if you are used to humid weather then a humid environment may be good for you or vice verse if you are used to dry dry may be better for you.

Lance,

Thanks for that info. I'm back from my trip a couple of weeks now, it was amazing! Saw Brooke Hogan at a club...haha that's a very girly thing to get excited about but we had such a laugh about it!

Ok wow it was sooo humid! I did however manage a couple of runs on southbeach, they only lasted about twenty mins and I don't think I could work up such a sweat after three hours of running here, it was unreal! I loved the heat and the sun but that humidity was not my friend. It actually rained a good bit over there...that was not what I signed up for!!! LOL!

I tried gatorade, must have got a bad flavour as it tasted gross! I then tried the dioralyte salt/ electrolyte solution my pharmacist gave me to add to my water. It nearly made me gag but the bit I managed to get in helped a lot.

I know I'm lucky I can travel around Europe freely! That is cool, but having been in New York I really would love to live there. At least for a year or so, I don't know how that would go down with insurance/ immigration. Might as well give it a shot though!

Its raining a lot now and my tan is fading <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

Hope the move has gone/ is going well!
