First off, I want to share the thing I'm most pleased about since I've gotten them. I haven't had a migraine in a month. After suffering from at least one bad one a week and waking with a headache every morning, I haven't had either. There have been a few times I've had stress headaches and those I can attribute to anxiety. But those have been easily remedied with medication.
Now, on to the good stuff. The healing. So far, it's gone mostly pain-free. In fact, I haven't had much soreness since the ball popped off the left ear ring. I have been able to sleep on both sides without trouble. In fact, I have been surprised. I suspect I haven't seen the end of the pain. But I'm hopeful it won't be serious.
What has gotten to me a few times is the itching. There are times it gets unbearable! So unbearable, in fact, I want to shove my fingers in there to free whatever it is trying to dig its way out of my ear. However, I quickly remember unwashed fingers are NOT the way to go about this. As a way to combat the issue, I would use a clean water-dampened Q-Tip to gently dab at the piercing. This not only relieved the incessant itching for a spell, it also cleaned away some of the crust that might have built up between cleanings.
With that being said, I clean my ears twice a day with warm water and then a water/sea salt solution or Dial soap. Both of these work great.
Sorry this week's post isn't very interesting. I will say though....tomorrow, I'm going in for a new piercing. I have a few ideas of how I want the end result to look. I guarantee you may be surprised when I'm done. But what I've chosen and saved for reference is both very feminine and makes a statement.
And yes, pics to come.
