Destin, FL

North Florida/Lower Alabama is oppressive in the summer—hyperhidrosis is awful, even inside. But, I don’t want to be trapped inside in bad weather—plus, I have a limited income for four-wheel-drive and heat. Any suggestions on a good place to live?

A MyHyperhidrosisTeam Member

How about Oregon? Pretty mild seasons and not near the humidity as Florida.
