Oh never mind, I'm passing rumors, there's a bone, but apparently, certain drugs can cause holes in the bone. |

I always used distilled water with mine too and had to make a conscious effort to breath through my mouth. The feeling is so weird and occasionally I did have it run into my throat. Yuck!
Shoot, I was so miserable and limited on the medication I could take due to pregnancy, I was about willing to try anything.
