i made the mistake of forgetting to take out my non gold/silver earrings last night and I've woken up so sore! *kicks self*

and now I have taken them out my ears are throbbing and burning like a volcano about to erupt!

It's not faaaaaair! I wanna be able to wear more than the 2 pairs of earrings I have that don't hurt me!

Ok, that's my tantrum over, I think I'm ready for some breakfast now..

and paint the earring posts / backs if they have any with clear nail varnish ( unless you're allergic to that too! )

I am allergic too

I see so many earrings I would like to wear and can't. I am even allergic to the button on my jeans.

I read this as quiche earrings

At least they're cheapo ones you can chuck out.
I got some expensive garnet ones from Prague a few years back and I cannot bliddy wear them.

The posts are too thick to go through my lobes comfortably. Dammit!

I can't chuck them, they weren't expensive but they were my nan's and we were real close. Normally i can wear them for a day, my mistake was falling asleep wearing them.

Thanks for all the good advice folk :-)

Know what you mean Demantoid. Have some gorgeous ones from India but how big do they think some folks' holes are?

Awww

In that case, I believe there's stuff you can buy in jewellers' shops to paint on them and reduce the allergic reaction.

My friend was allergic to the arms on her new glasses, she took them back to the shop and they plastic coated them for her, I think it was Specsavers.

I never used to be able to wear anything other than gold until I had my children ..............something changed and suddenly I could - not for too long though!

How strange! I have heard that pregnancy changes the body, must be the hormones..?
