for the women that burn wood for heat in the winter

We have an indoor wood stove. And we had it last year also. But this year it seems to bother me so much. I have gotten one really bad sinus infection because it was so dry in our house. And I finally got that taken care of. And I also bought humidifiers. Well now I'm getting this irritating cough. It drives me nuts. And my eyes burn sometimes. I am the only one that it seems to bother.

Does anyone else have this issue. I don't no if I'm just super sensitive or what but I can't stand it.

We just got one a few months back and it makes me feel so dried out. So you're not alone. :) saline nasal spray has become my best friend.  Lol

I always used humidifiers when we had a woodstove, and we put a kettle of water right on top of it. I miss the woodstove so bad now that we have propane :(
