Epilepsy Bracelet

Mon, 04/20/2009 - 13:31
I want to have an emergency bracelet made but not the ones I see on the internet.  I found a place in the mall that engraves bracelets and necklaces.  What should I have printed on it?  I don't want to have my medication put on it because they are changed so often and I can't afford to shell out the money after every docor's visit just for safety.  Anyone have any advice?  Here is an example:  Epilepsy (on front)  Emergency contact name and phone # on back    Do I need any other information?  I don't want to leave anything out.  No answer is silly.  It all helps.

What I've also seen are people who wear their med bracelet along with colored watch faces on their wrist. It draws the attention to the watch and doesn't make them as self-conscious about their med tags.

Yeah, I'm wondering what to put on mine, too.

I'd like it to say something like, "If I fall on the floor and start shaking, don't freak out, I'm just having a seizure. Don't let me smack my head on anything hard or sharp. Unless I do bang my head, don't call the ambulance. I'll wake up in a little while"

That would be a really big bracelet, though : )
