Hi

I use a chain round my neck with a disk which tells the
medics and anyone else that I am epileptic and allergic to
penicillin, it links to a card which I keep in my wallet
that lists my medications and gives contact info in the case
of emergency. Obviously it is no use to you guys in the
states but for me it is a great confidence builder. The
organisation I am a member of is called medic alert
foundation, I just pay £30 per year. It is money well spent.
Without it I would feel vulnerable.

Regards

Adrien

Susan,

I got my medical bracelet years ago at our jewelry story but
I have seen them advertised in catalogues that advertise
small things. Maybe a drugstore has
them-- I don't know.

I got mine in white gold to match my watch. It is
hollow--has Millie on the top and Epileptic close to my skin
and has a stretch band. But the most important is that
inside the bracelet it has my name, address, phone, med
dosage, my 2 daughters names ( home and work) phone numbers
who live in town-- and my Dr and phone.
I print it very small on the computer and then fold it up to
fit the inside of the bracelet.

I make 12 at a time and put them in a baggie so if it gets
wet and difficult to read -- there is one ready to put in.

I have used it my self because I always forget my one
daughter's work phone number when I need to put her down as
my POA.

A policeman told me that they are more comfortable looking
at your wrist than for a necklace around your neck.

I got this after I was found 40 miles away from home at 3
am-- going east on a west bound State Highway. I didn't know
my name, where I lived , or if I had children. They finally
looked in my purse and found my daughter's number and told
her they found her mother drunk. She told them I wasn't
drunk but I had EP.
She and her sister came to get me.

I remember part of that-- going in and out -- as you well
know you can. I haven't ever had an aura. Someone has to
tell me that I am not acting as usual.

Millie
