I love this post. I've been wondering the same thing myself. I would say don't come to Michigan. Cloud cover most of the year, damp conditions, mold issues. This summer has been the worst with a flooded basement. And there is very little Lyme awareness. Though Ann Arbor is by far the best place to be if you do come here. Open minded people at least, good holistic medicine, health food stores.
I do have a good doc and LLMD, though I guess like Ohio we don't have Lyme here. The ticks have this amazing ability to hop from the New England area, pass by Michigan, and land in Wisconsin. Or maybe it's the deer that do that. Either way, I'm sure it's an impressive sight to see but sadly I've never seen it just like I've never seen Santa Claus.
What about Maui? Expensive, but paradise.

Glad to hear that someone in michigan is happy with their doc besides Payne. LOL. West side of Michigan is closed minded. I soo need to move. I also have wondered about this.
I agree, that you don't want to move to Michigan.
I currently travel three hours each way to see my doc... which I see weekly. And, there are only 2 dr's in the entire state that are half way lyme literate (and that term is being used very loosly) that take my insurance.

I've got some good travel time too to see my doc. Figure gas money into treatment and it gets even more expensive.
That's great that your insurance covers your treatment and visits. I just got word back that all my claims were rejected. Seriously, what do I pay in for each month?
I lived on the West side for a couple years. Beautiful, but I agree with your sentiments. Come over to the east side

I would love to move to the desert. No guarantees, but I love the heat, and maybe fewer ticks?
Here in Minnesota, we are still waiting for summer to arrive. Or maybe we are waiting for spring still? IDK. It is one of those disappointing years after two years in a row of summer-like months of May, and after a long, frigidly cold winter with literally tons of feet of snow. Now comes the rain. May as well be in Seattle, although I have never been there. Looking out my window at the clouds: cold, rainy, dreary. Got my winter robe back out last night. Just put it away in my "winter box" a few days ago.
All this rain will only bring on more ticks and more Minnesota state birds, "the dreaded misquito."
I want to move to the desert.
-------------------- Best Wishes,
Hope

It is generally agreed (me & 4 LL practitioners) that I actually got Lyme from the bite of a red fire ant in the Calif. desert...so moving to a desert does not guarantee no Lyme exposure risk...
For me, I prefer higher altitude (I strongly dislike the salty smell of ocean air). I miss the mountains whenever I'm not near any. Some of my best health was when I lived at about 4500' elevation...I miss the whole experience that I had while living there (my college years)...but I don't miss all the snow.
