Re: Medical Alert Bracelets for Little PIDers

You can find several websites if you google the phrase " silicone band. " One

very good website is:

_https://reminderband.com/_ (https://reminderband.com/)

On websites such as this you can design your own band so that it has the

exact message you need.

Good Luck to You!

Rogena, My son has a silver one. He has had it since he was about 3

years old. It is from medic alert. It never comes off, ever. after awhile he

didn't even seem to notice. Hope it helps. Dawn

I looked at some velcro-type ones, but wondered if my 2 & 3 year olds

would be able to rip them off. I have boys, so I can't have anything

to " girly " looking.

Any suggestions?

wearing them, just in case....

Rogena,

I just got my daughter, Jade's in Saturday. I ordered from

www.MedicAlert.org. Not only do you get jewelry, but you also get

information stored, and an 800 # to call, listed on the jewelry. I

ordered a bracelet ($7.95), shoetag (6.95) and 1 yrs service, it was

$55, including shipping.

Only certain conditions are allowed for this svc, PID isn't one, but

asthma, food, and latex allergies, and autism are all conditions the

program covers.

You can keep info on file (even update it online), and if anyone needs

to call the 800 # on the jewelry, they will have your child's info.

They have many inexpensive designs (some very simple, just a colored

emblem), but my daughter won't wear them, and we use the shoetag. It

is a solid steel 1 inch long flat charm, with her name,

800#, " autistic, non verbal " and her ID code #.

The other side has the medicalert emblem.

They even have a program to pay for the service, and jewelry, if you

are unable to.

My fear with overly fancy jewelry, is that it may not be easily

identified as a medical alert in an emergency.

There are other companies that sell jewelry, but none I have found

with the 800 #.

Mom to Jade 2 1/2, autism (back on her supplements, and doing

amazing), pituitary problems, and unidentified PID

, 12 and quite healthy

I know this isn't what you're looking for, but I have a friend who ordered

their daughter's medical alert bracelet from 's Hope, it is beautiful!

They do have some styles for guys, but they are more fashionable than super

practical.
