I hope this goes viral. I saw an ENT last week, and she said I have a dry nose, and told me to use a nasal spray with gel. That did nothing. Today, I saw my Primary Doctor, and his Nurse PA said,: I know what you have.. it's called AURICULAR CHONDRITIS... She has it, and so does her mother. She said they have been using a pillow with a hole in the center. She told me to Google "pillow with hole", or go to Amazon, and write in "The original pillow with a hole". Seems when you lay on the side of your ear, you are putting pressure on that part of your ear, and this causes that cartilage. I am going to order the pillow now...here's hoping it works.. and I hope you can share what I just learned. Celeste
