Does anyone have a medic alert braclet? I read in the entocort pkg that I should get one? I think about it sometimes, like if I was in an accident or something. Just wanted to see what others thoughts were.

I hadn't really thought about a bracelet, but I do have all my doctors' business cards in my wallet and their numbers programmed into my cell phone.  I also keep a list of my meds and dosages with me.  (Actually, I need to update that again.)  If anything were to happen to me, emergency responders looking for personal or emergency contact info should find all of that and have a leg up on treating me.

I have had one for many many years. With all the meds I am on, it wis well worth it. You can update it online anytime

I looked on the web on you can get one for about $30.00. I'm gonna do it. I just didn't know if I was being over-reactive.

I also recommend having an ICE number listed in your cell phone. Emergency responders can tell that is a contact to call if you program ICE (in case emergency) as the contact name. My husbands name comes up first on my cell and I added husband after his name so someone could tell immediately to call him even if they did not know the ICE concept.
I don;t have a bracelet because I don't take many meds that would interfere with others and I am only allergic to flagyl. I do still keep the meds and doc list with me with my license so it is easily found.
