One for the ladies, or male earring wearers.

Times many I awake in a morning to realise my earring 's gone awol 
I usually find it in the bed or the bathroom floor. I usually find the butterfly somewhere else 
Occasionally, I can't find the butterfly, so Our_Lass supplies me with another from her box of jewellery. (tat) 
Last six or so months, my ear's been really irritating and sore. So I've took my earring out for a week or so.
Then put it back in cos all's Ok, then it starts again.

After taking my earring out Monday this week, it was irritating and bugging me. I thought of something Our_Lass once said.
Nickel makes her tabs sore and itchy.

Guess what, I got a magnet off the fridge and voila, the butterfly's not silver, it's a magnetic metal. My earring is silver.
Has any body else had similar with non gold or silver earrings/piercings.

Yes. It's a strange post, but seems to explain my dicky tab

My daughter has the same problem.

So does mine

I've had the same problem with bracelets or rings which aren't silver or white gold but I never go to bed with earrings in.
