Leaving Louisiana for Health reasons??

I’d like to hear from Louisianians who moved to drier climates, maybe Arizona, New Mexico, etc. specifically leaving this swamp air because of respiratory issues. How’d it work out for you? TIA.

Seems kinda dumb in the first place.
But I'll play along...most drier climates have significant air quality issues due to dust and smoke. It will also dry your skin out which I guess could age you faster

I'm not leaving hot & humid Louisiana to go to oven hot Arizona.

Respiratory issues in humid climates are real issues….

When we moved away, asthma for one kid completely went away and most of the allergies for another. My breathing is way better too.

Maybe so but moving to the desert sounds like a good way to make it worse

There are these things called allergists and ENTs. It’s not the late 1800s where the elderly would summer on the Baltic Sea in a sanitarium “for their health.”
Get on a treadmill, get a dehumidifier and fix the problem.

Actually, I have known of people who moved to different climates to improve their breathing because they had chronic lung diseases of various types.

You do get that reading stories on Facebook is not a substitute for medical evidence right? You also likely spend the majority of your time in air conditioning, where the air is considerably drier than what is happening outside on a summer afternoon.

From Houston (where it was worse for me and the 3 who had worse issues) to BR (5 years) and now in the Nashville area.
Allergens here are different - much of what gets called asthma is a symptom of allergies, so I can admit that might have a lot to do with it. The air quality here is just infinitely better though, there isn't that stagnant gulf pattern of warm stankness. Fronts come through here 5x as much it seems, we get the freshness.

And they are in drier climates that have allergens and smoke

Also helps being away from all of the chemical plants

One of my sons endured sinus issues and asthma issues in South Louisiana. He moved to California and the dry, clear air basically cured his issues. I believe that it works for lots of people.

my great grandpa was mustard gassed in WW1 and it really jacked up his lungs. The VA dr asked him to move from Shriever to Pineville because of the humidity. Thats all I got

It’s really just different for everyone. Our bodies are all a little different in what climate and allergy tolerance is their perfect sleep number so to speak.
Extremes suck so my ideal spot to live one day is St George Utah.

Regularly gets above 100 degrees, regularly gets below freezing, never rains and very dry. Not sure you're looking in the right spot

I know for a fact it’s much more moderate in the Fall(they have one) than Texas so I’ll feel spoiled.

We didn't move to Idaho for health reasons, but we saw some changes.
We both got sick less due to the drier climate. We moved in 2017, I got sick in early 2018 and didn't get so much as a cold until we moved back to Louisiana in 2023. It was bizarre how much better I felt.
We moved back and I got sick 3 times within 5 months, 2 times were pretty bad, 1 time was the flu.
However, my asthma came back when we went to Idaho. I had it as a child, it went away with sports, but it came back in Idaho around mid 2018, so 7-8 months after we arrived. I went to an allergy and asthma doc, very smart guy, Harvard grad, Yale residency, really knew his shite, and I asked if the resurgence could be due to the climate. He said it's certainly possible, but he couldn't be sure. He also said sometimes Asthma just comes back for some people regardless. Now that we are back, my asthma is more well controlled than it was in Idaho. Still on Symbicort and use a rescue inhaler if I'm going on a longer run.
A lot of asthma sufferers complain of humidity, but humidity can also help in a smaller percentage of people with asthma.
