Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Hi Everyone, Well picked up a Medical ID Necklace to be worn at the local Pharmarcy this morning. I will now have this engraved with " Cochlear Implant No MRI " as suggested to do. Doing OK but still some foods do not taste right. I guess this will get better in time. Feeling fine with just that Good Healing Pain as I heal more each day. I go back to work on Monday 10/20. This sure will be a change from being home since the CI Surgery Oct. 1. Well have to run for now. Looking for a nice weekend! Barry CI Oct. 1 - N24C Hook Up Nov. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi Christy,I have a number of severe allergies and have worn a medic alert bracelet or necklace for about 5 years since advised to do so by my doctor. Mine is British and unscrews so that you can write on paper included all your ID, medications and allergies. It also comes with a sticker to place in your car in case of accidents. They are not cheap but are quite attractive with the medical symbol (staff with snake) on one side and SOS medic alert on the other. They come in s.steel, silver and gold and can be bought from Boots.I am never without mine.Hope this helps.Maggiesamters From: janesmarino@...Date: Sun, 4 Jan 2009 12:31:19 -0800Subject: Re: Medical ID Christy, I think "medical bracelets" has been discussed here before and I seem to remember that some with severe asthma reactions to NSAIDS do where them. Hopefully someone who wears one will respond. I have, likewise, thought about wearing a bracelet because now that I am desensitized to aspirin, I take a high dosage of aspirin daily. My doctor has informed me that whether you are on 81mg or 1300mg of aspirin a day, the bleeding issue is the same. I too worry that if I were to be in a car accident, that paramedics would need to know that I bleed more because of daily aspirin intake. I think wearing a bracelet indicating an aspirin allergy would be important if not desensitized.

The last time being after I took Aleve (naproxen) and was given the Samters diagnosis. Do any of you wear a medical ID bracelet or necklace? I worry that if I was in a car accident or otherwise unconscious, I would be given anti-inflammatory drugs that would cause severe breathing difficulties.
