Husband with MS wants to move to NM

[pepurr]

I appreciate your input and will take it into consideration. I believe the climate is warmer in NM than in Colorado. My husbands ms acts up pretty bad due to cold and snow and the winters here in Illinois are BRUTAL to say the least. This is one of the reasons we are choosing NM. They may have the cold but the winter duration is much less than Illinois for sure. We don't even see 50-60 degrees until April, maybe May. LOL

You bring up a valid point about his meds. He cannot go without his medicine that's for sure. But from what everyone is saying here, Albuquerque is not an issue for getting meds or going without. Plus, hubby will grow some of his own to make up for the loss if there is one.

I'm not trying to put you off Alb., But it can get pretty darn cold here too. Alb. is a mile above sea level, so you have to consider that.

On the other hand, the summers can get pretty hot too. I'm not talking Phoenix hot, but being a mile up there isn't as much atmosphere blocking the rays of the sun. It don't take long to get a sun burn when you are out in the open. Also it is dry here. You may want to keep plenty of lotion on hand. Many people have problems with dry skin here.

Most of the time in the winter, even if it is cold, if you are in the sun you can keep kind of warm. That is if the wind isn't blowing. Speaking of wind, we get some pretty bad dust storms here too. Some times you wouldn't want to go out side cause it can sting your skin.

Other than that it isn't bad. I guess every place has its draw backs and good points. I would say the good out weighs the bad here in Albuquerque.

There's my take on it with out a suger coat.

peace

Currently we're in Illinois and if you know anything about our state you know it will be some time before they pass a MM law around here. :rolleyes: Can you give us the low down on how this goes in NM? We understand we have to live there, that's a given. He'll need a doctors recommendation too.
