Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 I got mine pierced for almost the same reasons. I never thought I would have a nice enough belly to show it off but i thought it would make me feel good enough to lose the weight. i did wear it for a long time though. I took mine out to have kiddos too. Had my nips pierced too but took them out for surgery and enver got them back in. THAT HURT. But I had amny occassions where i shocked people with them, LOL...

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Because you are weight loss people, you will understand this. About 4 or 5 years ago, when I weighed 200 pounds, I got my bellybutton pierced thinking it would encourage me to loose that extra 40 or so and " show it off " . Didnt work. BUT, here I am, now, at 140 pounds, and I still cant show it off! Tummy just istn cooperating! But, I still have it and will until I get pg at which time I understand I will have to take it out... the things we do to get skinny.... angela m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Re ink tattoo's: Ok, thanks. I had a good look all over autism mercury archives and there are plenty of posts about mercury and other toxic metals in the inks used in tattoo's. I did NOT find any posts saying I cannot chelate dmsa as per protocol because of this. No horror stories, just ink has mercury in it. I assume no posts means no one has had any serious problems when chelating using dmsa, so I will continue with the dmsa I too choose not to get anymore tattoo's Sunshine > > > > > I awoke at normal time on Monday morning, after last dose at > 2am, to > > > a massively tingly & itchy right arm.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I have a tattoo and use dmsa. I have not had any problems. It is a small tattoo and about 12 years old. Color is sharp still. But I haven't had any issues using dmsa, and not I am onto ala and doing ok with that too. Also, not getting anymore tattoos myself. > > > > > > > I awoke at normal time on Monday morning, after last dose at > > 2am, to > > > > a massively tingly & itchy right arm.

I'm on round 2 of DMSA only now and I have had the intensely itchy tattoo on my arm again this morning for a couple of hours, (and not on the other arm.) I'm new to this but my reactions/symptoms seem to be changing every 4-6 hours on rounds. Up, down, steady, headache, itchy tattoo, my big toe was throbbing like crazy this morning too….LOL. Tattoo age: 22 years old and covered with one that is 4 years old. Old one was faded, new one sharp. About the size of a large apple. Mostly black but some red in both.
