With MedicAlert majormana you can list as many ailments as you have. List the most vital ones on the ID you choose and the rest are kept in their database with you medications and for example things like DNR order, advanced directive, x-rays EEG, ECG or whatever other important information you may want in your medical file. ALL your information is just a phone call away.Wouldn't it be good idea if they made medical alert belt for all of us who have to many issues to count that don't really fit elsewhere easily?

MedicAlert saved my life more than once. MedicAlert rocks :rock:
Futureghost: Just curious, what is "e-paper?" Your life is much more important than style. They do have quite an assortment of bracelets to choose from.
Check out their website below.
I think that's only because its more eye catching. like how emergency vehicles always have red in them. I have seen black, white and pink coloured tags, as well as just the solid etched, but the bands are never sometrhin I would wear
No, I don't. I feel self consious & like it puts a stigma on me.

i would hate to wear one, i know it may save me in major accidents, but when i had a major one people had th idea of looking through my phone.
I don't wear one - my epilepsy isn't all that severe - but I keep thinking I should get one just in case. I do have a medical card that I take with me (either in my wallet, or wherever if I don't have my wallet with me). I think the biggest thing for me would be out running, I would like a sporty one, and it's kinda difficult to carry a card with me unless I carry my running pack (which is usually only one longer runs).
Would wearing an epilepsy bracelet put undue liability in case of seizure while driving?
