Medical ID bracelet

[melbidd]

Hi.  I was wondering who here has a medical alert bracelet for migraines?  If so, what are your symptoms?  I'm debating on whether or not I get one.

Here is what happens to me :
I usually get headaches every couple of days (usually every other day), but sometimes I get migraines (a few times per month).  I take Anaprox for my migraines (only started taking it a few weeks ago).  When I get a migraine, it is usually an intense pain around my eyes and forehead, and my temples.  I get nauseous, and dizzy, and I can barely talk (it feels like the words can't come out or they don't come out right), I'm very confused and I usually space out (that's what I've been told).  I also have a hard time walking/standing.

Should I get one ?

Thank you

This sounds like I should do something similarly.  Thanks for bringing it up.

Hi,
People with certain medical conditions usually wear medical IDs to alert emergency medical professionals especially in emergency situations. In your case, if you experience confusion and being spaced out, and sometimes go out alone, this may be very helpful. There are many conditions that warrants a patient to wear this. For instance, in emergency cases, when you might be unable to speak for yourself, a medical ID bracelet speaks for you. It also eliminate trips to the hospital, reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and prevent minor emergencies from becoming major ones. Hope this helps. Take care always!

I believe it would be a good idea.  The reason is that if you took a medication and needed some other med at least there would be something providing a lead to a medical professional.  I might even recommend this to my wife because she takes Maxalt and it shouldn't be mixed with similar meds.
