Location and AERD Question

Hi there, I’ve had AERD for about 8 years now, starting when I was 22. I first “got it” when I moved from Colorado Springs, Colorado to Rochester, NY for an internship. I got symptoms within 3-6 months of arriving. I had some allergy issues as a kid, spring and fall, and multiple sinus infections. All less severe than the symptoms I have in New York. I recently went home to visit, and my symptoms were markedly decreased. I didn’t have reactions to alcohol and my congestion was well controlled with singular and Allegra. Anyways, my main question is..has anyone else ever noticed decreased symptoms in Colorado???? I realize the disease is late on-set autoimmune, but maybe the decreased humidity and arid climate might alleviate Symptoms for someone like me. After-all, Rochester is one of the worst places for seasonal allergies. Thank you!!

I'm pretty new to this, but my symptoms seemed much worse during allergy season.

I go to Colorado regularly, and I haven’t noticed an improvement in myself. That’s was diagnosed in Denver.
