It may not be the prettiest jewelry in the world - but unlike a diamond ring, it can save my life.
Yes, I'm talking about a MedicAlert bracelet. Since I'm dealing in conditions that can render me unable to tell a doctor or EMT about my medications and such, it helps in that regard. All they have to do is call the toll-free number, and find out what meds I'm on, who my doctor is, and even have loved ones contacted.
This is my bracelet, engraved with Asthma and Epilepsy.
Personally, I also like these - but I'll wait before getting another bracelet.
In the meantime, if they had bracelets that looked like this, I would've worn it more often when I was 12 years old and really needed it. Instead, about 20 years ago, this was the only option - unless you wanted a necklace, of course.
So ... if you don't have one, but you have a condition that could merit your wearing one, go to MedicAlert for more information. Even if you don't need it, but know of someone that could use it - pass the URL onto them, and save a life! :-)

Of course, as I'm standing there gasping & wheezing, she finally asks me if I'm having trouble breathing. No, lady, I sound like this for fun!! If I had a bracelet, I could have just ahnded it to her, and saved the urge to knock her out...
