To ask why is dh's asthma OK in Corfu?

[Tuddlepops]

We're here now and dh hasn't used his inhalers at all. Been here since Thursday. We've been before and dh didn't then either. We thought that must have been a one off?

It's mild asthma but he is a but wheezy at home. It came on very late in life.

Any ideas? It's rained so not been dry every day.

Meh. It's well managed in the UK, and it's likely that I'll move away again once dc have finished school. So it's more of an annoyance than anything serious. Just interesting to know that it wouldn't be a problem elsewhere.

It's the dry air in my experience (pretty severe asthma). I remember going to Egypt and being amazed at how much better my asthma was.

Yeah, and I have Botox and acupuncture so they used to be a lot worse.

I would like to try botox when I have another bad phase. I can go weeks without one, or just weeks straight of it then it goes away for a while. I think it was about 6 weeks last time, it can be debilitating

I’m glad things improved for you.
It’s amazing how just a change in climate, can give someone a new lease on life!

I have brittle asthma and the dry, warm/hot weather abroad does wonders for see for my chest. Damp and humid conditions do me no good

I find my hay fever disappears on holiday to the Mediterranean. I suppose the pollen is different there.

@Gcsunnyside23 I have had asthma most of my life - upwards of average to fairly serious - particularly triggered when I was very little living in humid Hong Kong. I only found out about Montelukast last year and it has been a game changer ! I live in a tropical climate now, humidity def makes it worse, but it is seasonal. Sea air is the best thing...

Off topic, re the IOW TB sanitorium, I had relatives in the area, they spoke about it being demolished in the '60's..becoming part of the grounds of the gorgoreus Botanical Gardens (quite a stunning building judging by old pics) Apparently lots of builders downed tools and offed, it was quite woo by all accounts......(off topic)

This, plus the air will be cleaner. Industry in the U.K. affects asthma a lot. Also my DD has always been better by the sea even in the U.K.

This happened to me when I moved to the canaries.

But I also never needed it again when I returned to the uk 🤷‍♀️

It's been a gamechanger for me. I have less migraines, less congestion, less wheezing and I even sleep better. I have very extreme allergies where I had to get monthly injections over a 6 month period although it didn't fully settle but this helps deal with the tail end

It's great to find something that works isn't it. I am terrible in hot humidity and very cold weather but cope much better now. Although everything triggers me but between omizilub injections and this it's been life changing for me. Not all my issues are asthma but they trigger it so badly and it helps me live better

Was going to say this.

My DC have allergy induced asthma which is non existent when we holiday in Greece. I put it down to the lack of carpets and different pollen. Skin prick test can tell.

A good air purifier and very frequent vacuuming and damp dusting if so.

My DC have much more trouble with their chests during autumn and winter. It's just a nasty unhealthy time of the year for them and we look forward to better weather each year as it brings a sustained break from having someone ill. So I'd say its possibly climate related.

The fecking mosquitos have probably devoured whatever your dh is allergic to

Cleaner and fresher air.

Warmer weather.

Possibly fresher soft furnishings and no carpet where you are staying versus your home?
