It's not just me! Hallelujah!!I have the same kind of problem as you with one of my piercings. I've had it over 40 years and it still gives me grief. Oddly enough, I get more problems with low ct gold than I do with silver, though the only metals that I never get a problem with are 22kc gold and 950 platinum. I've even had a bit of soreness with surgical steel.
Donna, those threader earrings are something I could never use. For some reason just watching the demos made me quite queasy. I didn't so much dislike the look, but the thought of pulling them through finished me off.
