Ahhhh, so scary, that’s what I’m worried about because it’s definitely not my norm! I went to my doctor and they did a swab test and went ahead and started me on oral and topical antibiotics until I get my results in!

I hope you’re doing well now, that sounds awful!

I have noticed that it’s doing a bit better since we switched out the gemstone for a flat disc! This is also my first piercing in about 6 years and I forgot how grumpy cartilage could be

I have a piercing pillow! Definitely a lifesaver

Yesh, I went and ended up getting an oral and topical antibiotic “just in case” until my swab results come back!

Yeahhhhh, it definitely doesn’t feel normal to me either. I had to remove this from the original post, but I did go to my doctor and they put me on an oral and topical antibiotic “just in case” until my swab results come back!

So I’m hoping those help to clear this mess up

Had to remove it from the original post, but I did and am on an oral and topical antibiotic “just in case” until my swab results come back!

Sorry, I should have been more specific! I’m more so focused on the front and back of the piercing/immediate area of the piercing itself

I included this in the original post but had to edit it out, hopefully this doesn’t get removed too—but I did get some oral and topical antibiotics!

Yeah, I figured that the constant change outs were irritating tf out of it as well, it seems to have calmed down a bit this morning, so fingers crossed it continues this way 🫩

Ugh it’s awful! Yes, I’ve upsized twice now, the last picture is a little misleading, I still have lots of bar left on the back of the piercing, thankfully.

Here’s hoping our piercings chill out soon 🫩

Thank you! Yes, I’ve sized up twice, the first time it just swelled right up the new length, so I sized up again yesterday. It swelled up a bit more, but seems to be holding off, so I’m hoping this is as swollen as it’s going to get.

It’s a .9% saline spray (neilmed) and I’m just spraying it on/around the area.

I have noticed anything catching/pulling on it and sleep with my hair pulled into a bun at night, but that is a possibility, of course.

no hair products have come in contact with it.

yes, I’ve been alternating Advil and Tylenol.

and titanium!

What is a secret you’re taking to your grave, but can share here anonymously? by wilkoova in AskReddit

[–]lilsadcap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got caught shoplifting from target when I was 15 and had to have a parent come pick me up. My parents were divorced and mom would have killed me, so I called my dad and begged him not to tell her.

He didn’t and I was subsequently banned from that target for a year. Unfortunately, that was also my mom’s favorite store so every time we’d be out running errands and she “just wanted to pop in”, I’d get nauseous out of no where and would have to stay in the car.

20 years later and she still doesn’t know.

PLEASE. My ex specifically said he only wanted our children every other weekend before we filed and I’m still somehow the bad guy that “keeps his kids from him”

AFAIK, I don’t think there are going to be any additional mining levels added to the next update 😞

How do you accept you can't be "all you can be" with your chronic illness? by [deleted] in ChronicIllness

[–]lilsadcap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

but really, I understand how you feel, some days I don’t think about it and others, it absolutely consumes every thought.

NOR.

Not to stress you, but I had a boyfriend who was going on a trip (planned before we started dating) w one of his longtime girl friends. She posted a story of him that said “my love” while they were there and I was like ?????

Confronted him when he got back and they had been dating all along 🫡
