NIDS] OT: Parent Sensitivites

January 14, 2008

Hey Kristy,

I have a problem with my wedding/engagement rings (they are both

yellow gold). I cannot wear them together because I get a rash under

my rings when I do. I think (could be totally wrong) that because

they are so big together, water gets under them when I wash my hands

and causes problems. I can't really dry them completely so I just

don't wear my wedding ring and just wear my engagement ring. After

17 years I am used to it now but it took me a while. I still have to

dry my hands very carefully because things disturb my skin. I hope

you figure out the source of your problem.
