Sorry, sis
Welcome back!
While my younger sister was here today she told me that my older sister has suggested another remedy that’s supposed to help with arthritis pain. She is recommending that I wear a magnetic bracelet. I’ve heard of that before and I’ve even seen a few people doing it. And I have a very valid reason why I, personally, will not do it.
Metal allergies.
Those bracelets are, by necessity, made of either copper or stainless steel. I know from experience that if it isn’t sterling silver or 14K gold I can’t wear it without breaking out in a rash where it touches me.
I once had a necklace on a stainless steel chain and after three days of wearing it I looked like someone tried to cut my head off with a dull knife. I also had to look around for a watchband that puts leather between my wrist and the back of the watch.
I appreciate the thought, sis, but no thanks.
