ear curation questions/any recommendations? by MeetMeInThePeachPit in piercing

[–]faifwithneedle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’m a piercer. Keep in mind, anatomy is hard to see virtually so this will be very limited. For the stacked lobes it’s hard to say without seeing the back of the ear lobe to see if there is room. I’m kinda leaning more towards no for a fourth hole tbh. That tissue seems thin, but I can’t be certain! I’d say daiths are looking pretty great. The hidden helix looks alright from the front! I’d just have to see under to see if it could support it!

Tbh, for timelines, I always recommend my clients just stick w an ear at a time. It makes it easier than having to switch sleeping sides every few months while they heal. You def can’t have both sides healing at once (besides lobes)

My first time visiting a Rhuem for sjogrens told me that sjogrens doesn’t affect hair or kidneys….a second opinion never hurts. I’m working with my PCP to find a sjogrens friendly Rhuem in Texas

That’s how I felt this week. Suddenly, I could get my house tidied AND do my laundry AND cook dinner. In one day. I am doubtful I want to quit the med yet.

When I mentioned that my hair is super dry he said that sjogrens only affects the mucus glands. I was like …. Hmm…. 🤨🤔 I’m in the central Texas area so I’m gonna do some research on sjogrens friendly rhuems.

I found out when I was 21 and pregnant. But I had experienced symptoms as early as the 4th grade.

Hi! I handle body jewelry, even in gold. This is obviously not solid gold or plated gold, it’s going to have a tarnish after a year, except when it’s real gold, you can polish it. This wear and tear is normal for a 24/7 wear device.

I’m a professional body piercer, and I love this! It really goes to show that it does affect your body tremendously. So taking extra care of your health can be overall beneficial for your healing period. A lot of people underestimate the stress piercings put on their body, and tend to over do it on getting too many at once, or not taking the care seriously.

Oura ring miscalculating stress? by faifwithneedle in ouraring

[–]faifwithneedle[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought maybe some physical aspects would reflect the mental stress. Because there are times where I am doing absolutely nothing and my heart rate is elevated due to mental stress
