I just bought one. I have an Occipital Nerve Stimulator implanted for my migraines, and I'm not allowed to have an MRI.
-
I did when I was little b/c I'm deathly allergic to penicillin! I haven't since I was a kid though.
-
No, but I do wear a Road ID, and so does my husband. Mine has pertinent contact information in case of emergency. My husband has medical conditions (Type 1 Diabetes, HBP) and a medical allergy, so that information is located on his bracelet.
-
My daughter does. Nut allergy.
-
I used to until I became allergic to the bracelet....
-
@.twist.: how ironic.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Truly. haha DH's cousin is a paramedic and he's always getting after me to wear one. I'm contemplating getting it tattooed on instead.
-
@.twist.: what about one of the rubberized live strong brackets or the cloth ones?
-
@.twist.: what was it for? Allergies, I assume?
I don't wear one. The only thing I'm allergic to is shellfish, so I don't think it is necessary.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: Rubber ones I can't wear because my cat would eat it and the cloth ones, at least the ones that I've seen, are not very stylish and I apparently have vanity problems.
@Arden: Penicillin.
-
@runsyellowlites: I used to wear one for penicillin as well! When I got older I thought about how rare it would be to give someone penicillin STAT before seeing my record and stopped cause of that. I was also a teen ...which may have had something to do with it haha
-
@knittylady: The reason to wear a penicillin bracelet is in the event you are not conscious. Doctors obviously won't prescribe it to you, but a paramedic dealing with an unconscious person wouldn't know.
-
I have one (and it's pretty!) but never wear it. It's for my migraines, which can resemble a stroke, and my seizures.
-
@.twist.: sterling?
-
@Mrs. Jacks: The one I had was supposed to be sterling.
I kind of like the tattoo idea. I could also get a stainless steel one? I think I've heard of those?
-
@.twist.: I've ordered bracelets from http://www.laurenshope.com/ and http://www.stickyj.com/medical-emergency.html in the past...
-
@spaniellove: Thanks! Those are awesome websites!
-
@.twist.: do they make medical alert bracelets for medical alert bracelet allergies? So funny.
Are there medical alert microchips?
-
@.twist.: my daughter has polished stainless from Oneida. I think it looks really nice.
-
Nope.
-
@.twist.: Have you looked at etsy? They have some cute ones.
