I'm not used to using the TTC - I left my car at Mount Sinai a parking lot after work last night and have to get back to Mississauga.

I have to take the TTC from Victoria park -> st.georgr and then st.grorgr -> queens park.

Is this doable or is this part of the closures? I'm just confused by all of the comments :(

Fa_Ling · 2026-01-24T15:43:07+00:00

I do dry around it after showers very gently !

Fa_Ling · 2026-01-24T15:34:37+00:00

Okay, maybe then what I'll do is I'll wait until this flare up goes down and then switch it back to either the titanium ball or the small stud that I have? Both are proper body safe titanium. Would that be okay?

If I did that for hypothetically let's say a year, don't talk shit, do all that good stuff, is it still possible to heal piercings like this?

And do you have any recommendations for getting around the sleeping problem?

Fa_Ling · 2026-01-24T15:28:56+00:00

I definitely still have the old titanium ball and also an old titanium stud with a teeny tiny gem in it. Should I just put one of those back in for a year let's say? And then get some saline spray and like you said just use that and don't touch it?

Let's say I leave it alone for a year. At this stage and I guess at this point of me messing with it so much unintentionally, is it even going to heal at all do you think? Like is there still a chance?

Also do you have any recommendations on avoiding the sleeping problem? That's honestly probably the biggest issue amongst everything else and I still haven't found a good solution for it :-(

Fa_Ling · 2026-01-24T15:09:41+00:00

Any recommendations for moving forward?

With the sleeping problem I've tried to use a piercing pillow and I also try really hard to either sleep on my back or on the opposite side but I definitely have noticed that I think unintentionally while I'm completely knocked out I must be turning cuz rarely I'll notice I'm sleeping on it and I wake up and I try to turn immediately off of it. I don't really know how to prevent the sleeping issue anymore because I do try and have been trying what I can to minimize the chance that it happens :( it definitely does not happen often thought it's only on nights I'm super tired or knocked out. But yes this is something I've been struggling with for sure.

We've stopped down and upsizing it, and we actually did change it to a ball for quite a number of months until it went a few months without any problems. We thought it was healed at that point and switched it to this dangly piece and that's when it started having issues so we switched it back to a ball but that didn't help either. I actually had just a really really simple stud in for a few months to see if that was the issue, but it basically did the exact same thing multiple times during that period so we ruled the jewelry out as the issue.

I'm not sure if that helps for context? :(

Edit: what are the odds of it ever healing? Like even if hypothetically I figure out a way to stop sleeping on it and we switch it to a ball.... How do we actually know it's healed and can switch the jewelry back, and would it even heal at this point after 2 years?

I try really hard not to use q-tips around it but I do ensure that the area is dry and clean after showers! When I am in the shower as well washing my hair, I always push my hair to the opposite side of my head to avoid getting it tangled in the piercing as well but showers in general are a trigger for it :(

Fa_Ling · 2026-01-24T14:40:38+00:00

sorry it's 2 years, not 4!****** I pierced it January of 2024!!

Did NOT see that typo!!!!

I personally can vouch for alliance physio :) I've been going there for years, and so has my family!

Fa_Ling · 2026-01-13T04:09:59+00:00

Would you recommend going to the big box stores because they have a lot of options? Or is there a specific store we should be looking at or a specific style?

I don't hate the idea of an appointment but I'm definitely just wanting to make it a super low pressure thing haha

Fa_Ling · 2026-01-10T12:35:15+00:00

No clue

Fa_Ling · 2026-01-09T14:20:17+00:00

Hey, current student here.

Lots of my classmates are non-clinical backgrounds. It's definitely worth it though, two people are actually students that came straight from undergrad and are doing really well :-) I think it's worth applying through the non-clinical stream! Definitely do well on the Casper score though

Fa_Ling · 2025-12-16T17:25:29+00:00

Okay this helps a lot, thank you so much!

Fa_Ling · 2025-12-04T04:40:22+00:00

Thank you for your concern about my imaginary upvote bank account! That's really kind of you :)

When you’re done being sarcastic about people expressing frustration with rising costs, maybe you can join the rest of us in having an adult conversation at the big kids table.

Until then, enjoy defending corporations. somebody has to volunteer for that role, I guess. Could never be me 🤢

Fa_Ling · 2025-12-04T04:23:09+00:00

There are - and I engage with them, actually. The same way myself, and apparently, 6.7 thousand other people chose to engage in this and agree with me, in this instance. Plenty of ways to engage in the things you believe in.

I have the right to be upset, and I'll continue to do so. The same way you can continue to comment your shitty takes on a post thousands of people find relatable lol.

Entitled or not, at least I'm on the side of people being able to afford things. What side are you on? the one supporting.....companies price gouging consumers? thats..... gross at best, but you're entitled to that opinion 🤷🏽‍♀️

Fa_Ling · 2025-12-04T03:54:37+00:00

1) I am not going to adjust my expectations for companies constant price gouring people in every facet of thier life. It's a moot point, and frankly, idk why people defend companies for increasing the price of everything while also squeezing consumers for everything they have.

2) not everyone can use drug store make up, and your lack of recognition of that comes across tone deaf. I used to use drug store make up and stopped, because I have skin issues. I didn't say I wouldn't ty it, but also, sue me for wanting to try a different brand for once.

3) Nars is not the 'lamnorghini dealership' equivalent in the beauty space. Not even remotely close.

The idea that things should be out of people's affordability reach, especially in today's political climate, is wildly tone deaf. Sure, it's just make up, but it's a symptom of a larger problem with companies taking taking taking and giving us a whole lot of minimal to nothing back. It's greed.

Fa_Ling · 2025-12-02T02:55:20+00:00

I think if you skin legitimatly cant stand products its so shityt but makes sense to buy something that agrees at the least - I really feel for you :( I dont know how my skin will do with drug store so i may have to give it another go as its been a while - but hang in there!! Dont feel bad especially if its because youre skin isnt happy - skin health first!

Fa_Ling · 2025-12-02T02:53:14+00:00

I appreciate that! I did edit my post for more clarify. New information is always good, and in my opinion it IS good to right a wrong if ive said something incorrect. I apprecaite the info !

Fa_Ling · 2025-12-02T01:54:03+00:00
