Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Tami- My husband ordered a gold bracelet for me through a jewelery store. It looks like this http://www.camerojewelry.com/medical/medicalbracelet274D.htm Plenty of room for engraving on the back. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Imagine for a moment you ate some tainted food and had to have your stomach pumped. or that you had a serious accident requiring emergency surgery, If you have had a myotomy or fundoplication, it may make a difference in how emergency personnel treat you, Additionally, for my son we added his surgeons name and phone number because most emergency people have NO IDEA what a fundo or myotomy is. err on the side of safety Carolyn mom to cameron on the left side of these United Statespatrick smith <paddypower2468@...> wrote: Hi Marie,I don't know of any bracelet , but i just question as to what benefit it would be, i hope you don't mind me asking this question.The very best to you, in Kent UK.Marie McBride <magicmarieukhotmail> wrote: Hi there, could you fellow Brits tell me if there is anywhere we could buy a bracelet or a badge of some sort in this country that we could wear in case of an accident that would show a sign that we have achalasia, I think they have them in America, it would be a kind of reassurance if it was possible to wear oneFrom Marie Answers - Get better answers from someone who knows.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 The following anecdote probably does not reflect well upon my character, but there is a "moral to the story." Years ago, July 1995, (4 years post myotomy) I did not have a primary care physician and went to a walk-in (no appointment necessary) doctor's office. I wasn't too fond of the bedside manner of the doctor examining me, and I chose not to be "forthcoming" regarding my medical history. The purpose of my being there was to diagnose my (aspiration) pneumonia (after all, it had nothing to do with my coughing, why bother going into an explanation of achalasia?). He took an X-ray, immediately confirming pneumonia, then called my wife to his office to tell her that I had some kind of fatal disease that showed up on the X-ray, that there was no way I could possibly be living from what he saw of the configuration of my stomach and esophagus. He was not a new doctor, nor an inexperienced one, but certainly not a GI doctor. After telling him he was seeing my surgically altered body organs and not a fatal disease, he was furious at me for not telling him I had achalasia. Admittedly, I was wrong not to tell him I had achalasia, regardless of my failure at the time to relate my digestive disease having to do with a lung problem. The points being raised regarding "medic alert" badges are good ones that should be further explored. The "moral of the story" is that you don't hide information from a doctor. There is a purpose to all those endless medical history forms we fill out the first time we see a new doctor. Hi there, could you fellow Brits tell me if there is anywhere we could buy a bracelet or a badge of some sort in this country that we could wear in case of an accident that would show a sign that we have achalasia, I think they have them in America, it would be a kind of reassurance if it was possible to wear one> From Marie> > > > > ---------------------------------> Answers - Get better answers from someone who knows.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hi, Lee, yes I use it that way. 3-6 volts should be usable. the 6 volt model used with one electrode on each wrist is the only thing I would try as experiment for the flu since the germ is not in the blood, but the lungs, so current must move across lungs. it will not if you use the bracelet type things. You can use sponges or cloth roolled up around the bare wire, etc. use more cloth if irritation, to reduce power level. wet the cloth, wring out excess water. sponges only need to be damp to work. bG > > hI > I notice the Godziller bracelette only has three batteries giving 4.5.
