Good news! Yes mine made me feel worse at first though I did not have such a dramatic result from the first time. I had to wear it in bouts for the first few weeks. Now I never take it off apart from in the bath and if I forget to put it back on I can feel the difference.

Interesting about the barefoot effect. I cannot remember that, though walking barefoot is something that i have always done, instinctively I think, for the grounding as you say, since I have been sick for so long. I especially like to walk outside barefoot but barely get the chance these days. I read in a Sherry Rodgers' book, on recovery from environmental illness using the macrobiotic diet and methods, that she advised going barefoot outside in the grass every day. I must find some grass and do this once the weather improves.

The effects of the Q-link is very subtle, but I firmly believe that it has helped me. I was so used to wearing it that i had forgotten about it until you mentioned it. I think that it is very possible that your back improvement may well be the Q-link.
