MEDICAL ALERT I.D.'s

Wed, 11/17/2004 - 14:25

HI I am wondering if anybody else has had the same problem as I am having. My Dr. has told me that I need to get some sort of Medical I.D. to wear. because as most of you know that when you have a seizure after you are unable to remember things that are important like where you are and how you got there.My problem is I have looked and look but everything I find is so exspensive. I want to register with the medical alert system which seems like the best way to go because my Dr. would be contacted right away but I can't afford a good bracelet. I don't want something cheep that I will have to replace everytime I turn around, but spending $500.00 is not something I can do.
    
    is there anybody who can recomend a good place to buy a good medical I.D. bracelet or even just the charms?

    thank you for any help.

Avon sells medical ID for about $10.  You can take it to a jeweler to have it engraved.  There is also a website called WWW.laurenshope.com that carries a wide variety of bracelets for a reasonable price.
