All amphetamines cause your body to go into a form of starvation mode when you go off of them (not sure if it happens just cutting back, since I went cold turkey the moment I realized I was addicted, when I was twelve) which can cause you to retain fat for up to two to three years afterwards.
Yeah, I've gathered. I sort of tapered off of them, just in that I didn't feel like taking them anymore, at right about the same time that I went off the antidepressants and man, that wasn't fun. I gained 30 pounds that summer, still have the stretchmarks. Grr.
You are always gaining and losing weight, it's a cycle, what it does is disrupt that cycle, cutting out your 'losing' phase.
Oh crap. Well, that's going to suck. Hopefully it won't be too bad, though, as my mom says that she didn't really gain anything on the same stuff.
Everything from plain, crappy earrings to low-quality gold and silver.
Which would make sense with how my ears started to get funny a bit the first time with the gold ones and then started reacting a bit worse the second time I put them in. Because they're definitely not pure (even pureish) gold, I'm pretty positive.
I'd suggest looking up titanium, niobium or SSS 316LVM (surgical stainless steel) (and not a letter lower quality--316L might still cause you to react).
Hee, *copies down*. Yay, information.
Personally, I have to use titanium.
Ay. That has to be expensive, no?
Rarely are there as 'pretty' options in appropriate, implant-grade metal.
Yeah, I seem to remember that. Because way back when I got them pierced (come to think of it, it was only like 5 years ago) I had to pick gold ones, and I was like "Ummkay. Butterfly, heart, random post thing. Lotsa choices you got here."
I'm just a font of useless knowledge, ne?
Oh so much indeed. Tis excellent to have you around, I must say.
