You guys are such a wealth of information! Thank you so much for sharing

everything! Another question: I have a dry cough, worse at night when I lay

down. I do have allergies and take meds. But it's not a really hard cough,

just sort of a little tickle. I've had it for years and my husband thinks it's

just a habit but I know it isn't. I never mentioned this yet to the doctor. I

am on a CPAP machine for sleep apnea and never cough when I have hooked up to

that machine. Do any of these RA related lung problems manifest like this?

I have humidity on mine, have the heat temp at 3. Should it be higher or lower?

It is cold here (Illinois) and my house temp is around 74 degrees.
