oh and i forgot to mention, my ear is numb. it's flippin weird. all pins and needly. has been like it since yesterday. i tried sleeping without my earring in, i've flicked it, put it under hot water, rubbed it and the bloody thing is still numb. any ideas what it could be?? it was swollen yesterday too but that's gone down. i thought maybe an allergic reaction but i haven't had any other symptoms.
