Question Here And Ideas Please

What do you all think of wearing a medical bracelet or necklace? Sometimes I think it's going to label me or scare people away. Your thoughts please. Thanks in advance.

I wear mine in my wrist band of my watch. Jewelry around my neck irritates my skin Some people wear one around their ankle.

I have a bracelet that I got from Lauren's hope. It's classy looking, not the old school type. I got mine because I can't afford to be taken via ambulance to the ER every time I have a seizure. My neurologist said the only time I need medical attention is if I injury myself during the seizure or it last longer than four minutes.

Well, Personally I wear a medical bracelet. It tells anyone that finds me while or after having a seizure that I have them. It could be something that saves your life in the future. I also carry around a list of the medications I am on and the intervals I take them, you never know when you will wake up in the hospital and can't answer any of those questions! I hope I don't get judged by my bracelet, but if it saves my life it may be worth it. Hope you have a good evening, & a Happy Halloween.
