Thanks everyone! I am going to have to try the Vicks in my humidifier. I had a vaporizer in my room as a kid when I was sick; this would be similar I guess? The one I have now, evds up running dry by morning, our bedroom is so dry! (Go figure; it's the only room without a heating vent, and thus we have a fan-style space heater on at night.. dry as a desert.)
It is the blasted weather/wind too that is aggrevating things. The wind is just unreasonably hard and relentless this winter. I go out to clear my Jeep off of snow, and it is literally like I feel my bones freezing inside my skin!
