My ears have suddenly plotted against me....
I've been at 7/8" for at LEAST 6 months... I haven't worn anything out of the ordinary, and they're having a reaction to SOMETHING. They're hot, swollen, oozing (to the point that I have crust on my neck right under the ear lobe), and they hurt to touch. A LOT. To the point that I actually was doing the ouchy dance inserting my plugs, and when I put them in I fell my ears THROBBING. I don't get it. The only thing I can of is that I had black O Rings on... Maybe my ears are suddenly allergic, like they decided to be suddenly allergic to acrylic one day...
It's annoying, I haven't had anything in my ears for like two hours... I have to put something in though or they'll close up... Looks like it's glass for me, the most hypo allergenic thing I own.
