Your best bet is to run a humidifier to compensate for the dry air.
Purchase a moisture gage - you can get one at Walmart for a couple bucks. When you see the moisture levels falling under 40% or so, run a humidifier.
(P.S. It's not always the furnace that exclusively is causing the arid air - the season when you normally use a furnace tends to have dry air anyway due to the cold.)

You need to install a humidify. You can have one installed into the vent system or just buy an individual unit at Wal*mart and put it in the rooms you spend the most time in. Be careful not to over use them or you could give yourself a wicked mold problem.

go to the ASK this old house website, they just did a show with a segment about the two types of humidifiers, evaporative and steam.
we just always had a pan of water on the heater. it was $2399 cheaper than the neato steam thingie.
