Piercing gone wrong??

Unread post by xxin »

So about 2 years ago, I went and got my cartalige pierced. I thought everything was fine until the piercing was done. I suddenly got very lightheaded and nauseous. I thought this was normal and just left it alone. But the feeling didn't go away. To this day, 2 years later, I still feel nauseous everyday. Could this be from a hot nerve maybe??? Need advice

Hi xxin,

This isn't really something we can diagnose for you. If you're concerned about it, the person to talk to is a healthcare provider.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
