Great epilepsy alert jewelry | January 24, 2025

Medical Alert jewelry is a good concept, but it’s often awkward and downright unattractive.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. 

Now there are plenty of great looking alternatives. For example, you’ll find some very cool jewelry at:

Gina Tonella 

https://www.etsy.com/listing/851343630/medical-id-charm-bracelet-personalized?ref=shop_home_recs_1&pro=1&frs=1, pretty personalized charm bracelets, with a heart charm and your choice of discs to indicate your condition.

Sticky Jewelry 

http://www.stickyj.com/ has cool Pandora style bracelets, beaded bracelets, bangles and lots of fashion forward medical alert jewelry.

Lauren’s Hope 

http://www.laurenshope.com/category/87/womens-medical-alert-jewelry has medical ID jewelry ranging  from casual to elegant…bracelets, necklaces, ankle bracelets…you can even create your own personalized, custom design.

The bottom line?  You don’t have to sacrifice style for safety!

However, it’s important to note that many first responders are instructed NOT to go into your purse or wallet. 

(It’s a privacy issue.) So, if you’re wearing something they can’t identify, it’s a moot point.

It’s a also a good idea to include a Power of Attorney. I know it sounds scary but if you’re out cold, there’s not much you can tell them about yourself.

With that in mind, here’s some important information about the Medical Alert Foundation. http://www.medicalert.org/ 

Medics recognize it and you can change your information, when needed. (Like if your meds change.) They also know whom to contact, especially if you end up in the hospital. The price for membership is just $30 a year. And if you have an “Advance Directive,” they will include it with your information — FREE.
