I suffer from asthma and That is one reason I live in south Florida,I moved from the Midwest 27 years ago,It was pretty bad......

I live a block off the ocean and have no problems here.

I am wondering if any-one with this problem has any difficulties in C/R..
Pollen,mold etc are the problems,And I see it is a forest like setting there.....

I know this may seem like a stupid question to some,However I would hate to get there and have my nose run the whole time and not be able to breath,Or have a attack.........


Please some one with info respond.............


Thanks for any help, Mike, south Florida hobbyist

I have allergies to pollen/mold, but not asthma. I've never had a problem in CR. I bring Claritin extra strength just in case. Never had a problem on the coast, in San Jose sometimes the exhaust has an effect on it, but Claritin fixes me up. You don't say where in CR you're going to be, but won't you be bringing your asthma meds in any case?

I have alergies and a slight case of asthma. I have never had a problem around San Jose. I feel much better here than in Atlanta.

Wow
I had to answer this one, I have bad copd and emphysema and am overweight enough to be uncomfortable. I have a medicine chest full of dope.

Short story is even in SJ I always come home feeling better, breathing better and 10/15lbs lighter. Somethings going on, maybe more exersize, better food and NO stress, but whatever it is I like it.
