Getting piercings while having lupus!

Hi Julie,

yea im def gonna get it out. i want it out. i want to be able to sleep a few hours a night. it drives me crazy all night. trying to get comfortable without putting pressure on it when i lay on my pillow. It sucks cause when im not in a flare it barely bothers me. but im still gonna find time soon when im feeling up to it to go to the ER an let them help me!

Thanks everyone for the advise!

Thank u Lori! I hope all is well with u!!!!! God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bless your heart! I used to have 3 piercings in each ear lobe, with no problem, until I got SLE. Now, I can't wear earrings because my ears are so sensitive. I don't want to try any more piercings since I tend to get infections right and left.

I do get tattoos, though, and my rheumo has a fit with me about it. They have healed very well and I've been getting them since I've been diagnosed and I only get them at one Shop.

Hope you feel better soon....I know it hurts!

Love and hugs,

Lori

Hello Monique,

Your welc ome from us all and you've made a wise discision and that's why i fetched my 3rd set of earrings out, not just because they was losing puss but also the discomfort of sleeping.
