Develop COLORADO allergies?

Is it possible to develop allergies moving from state to state?  I moved in November from Nebraska to Colorado and have been experiencing the following symptoms since late Jan, early Feb.  Has anybody else experienced this?

Headaches (almost daily)  Not severe, just nagging, dull, and achy off and on
Slight ear pain in both ears
Pain in my neck area, feels like my lymph nodes are throbbing
Burning Eyes

Please, if anybody could help out, I would appreciate it!!  Thanks.

Do you have some of these same symptoms Deeds?  Does anybody experience any of these symptoms with their allergies?

I get all your symptoms but, everyone can react differently.  Wouldn't hurt to try an antihistamine and see if it helps you... I use benedryl at night and I have a honeywell air cleaner/fan in the main bedroom...I used to wake up all stuffy - the hepa helps!

Hepa?

Deeds is talking about a HEPA-Filter that helps trap allergens in the air.  It's like an air purifier so to speak.

I grew up in westerm Washington and moved to Missoula, Montana for college.  After two years there, I developed seasonal and skin allergies and sensitivities.  I can only guess it's because of the elevation difference, or humidity difference and also exposure to different plants and trees.  I am now back in Washington for 5 years but my allergies never went away.  I treat them, but they are a part of my life............for the rest of my life.  I did not experience any of the symptons you discussed, I experienced occasional but increasinly frequent hives, sneezing, itchy eyes, respitory problems etc.  I hope this gives you some insight.  I DO believe that a long term change in your geographic location can cause your body to adjust in funny ways.  I used to go to california every summer for three months and my sisters and I would get a cold EVERY time we would get to ali and EVERY time we returned to Washington.  (Could be the polluted air on the planes, but I also believe it was a drastic change in air quality from state to state)
Stay well!

Deeds is right, a good HEPA filter would help you out. Another good filter is the Polarized Media Filter that goes on your furnace. I tried that out and it worked for me when I had problems with allergies.

Most of what is different is like Born Free said, the air quality changes from state to state. So in your new home in Colorado, you'll find that it's harder to deal with allergies than say, in Arizona. The air quality is different because there are a whole lot of different allergens and particles in each area.

A HEPA would take care of this problem quite well, but the problem associated with HEPA's is they can be expensive. So I would suggest looking at Polarized Media Filters in the Electrobreeze brand, this will be the best for price that I've found for what these do. Like I said, I had this problem and looked it up when a friend of mine told me how it worked for her.

I found the best price and info at www.airlifeone.com. When I had questions I never had a problem with their HR either, which I found doesn't happen with a lot of companies these days.

Anyway...I hope this helps you out.
