And this means pain in my eyes and nose and headaches and aching in my lungs with waking during the nite cause lungs are dry and dont work as well on top of the not normal they are from myasthenia.

I just turned on the on in the bathroom. It wasnt so bad till I opened the door to that room. Then even for me on the couch 2 rooms away I started to feel it in my face. It was like having dry heated air blown up into my sinus' and mouth. Even my head began to ache inside which surprised even me as that is on the extreme end of my dry air symptoms. I cranked up 2 of heavy duty Air O Swiss humidifiers. But wow you wouldnt belive how much it takes to counteract that much drying of the air.

The cold of winter makes the MG better. My muscles love it I learned the first winter. But the dry, the heat of heat sources is awful. I think something is fishy. Some heat sources bother me more than others. Maybe I should call a heating expert. I had forgotten how miserable this is.
