I don't drink any more water, I've never felt dizzy, etc. It's dry here in winter, and I had a bloody nose for 4 months last year, but that's it. My wife and 6 year old daughter have been the same. My conclusion is that it's all hype. We didn't prepare for the move, do anything to adjust, or take any time to acclimate. If average middle aged people and a youngster are fine, then you will be too.
Apparently you haven't read the thread. For some people there are significant problems. For others few or no problems. For some it's somewhere in between.

In other words, it's not "all hype", it varies with the individual.
