Default Magnetic bracelet

While on a recent trip to Florida my husband saw magnetic bracelets for sale and decided to buy one for me to try. (I was recently diagnosed with Inflammatory arthritis vs. RA) Anyhow with 2 hours of putting the bracelet on I had increased numbness & tingling of the right hand. By bedtime it was up past the wrist. By the time I woke up, it was the worst it has been in a while and bilateral. I wanted to take the bracelet off but my husband insisted I wasn't giving it a "fair chance." I tried to explain to him that while it might help the arthritis, it was having an adverse effect on the PN. He wanted nothing to do with this explanation and insisted I give it a week. Well, by the end of the day, the bracelet was off and my symptoms are SLOWLY subsiding. Thoughts???
