Millie,
I wear a Medic Alert watch and I currently risk carrying a dose of Keppra XR &
Vimpat.Its hard not to notice the large word EPILEPSY whenever a person opens my
wallet,to look for some source of ID,a paramedic will know who to bill or police
only want ID of person they're charge.They should see this word and think that
these are probably anti-seizure medicine.Previously I wore a necklace,but never
owned or worn a bracelet.Bracelets are the best way to expect ID to be
noticed.My necklace was always worn under my shirt and paramedics or police
don't look to find something that they hadn't already seen.My watch is seen only
as an expanding watch band to slide up the forearm while holding my wrists down
with arms up palms will face up.Then the face of the watch isn't even visible to
them.Medicines must be in a marked prescription bottle (not a dose sized
container) or else its seen as though its an abused drug.How many times have
drug sellers or abusers just put some type of pill into a relatives prescription
bottle to possibly get away with carrying dope w/o being arrested. Timothy

How about marking your meds that they are for EP? There has got to be a way
that tells people that you have EP and what pills you are carrying.
Do you have a medical bracelet on your arm or a necklace around your neck?
